    I think the community has tried to pick up the project again recently, but it’s obviously slow going without sponsorship and full time devs: https://servo.org/

        I just ran the nightly build and it looks like their css support is still quite far behind. I hope they can make progress though. It’s such a mammoth task

          Yeah, supporting every css feature in the world is a tall order. I would love if:

          1. Servo supported a small but useful subset of css features (e.g. just grid and flexbox for layout)

          2. Servo was embeddable like a WebView or electron.

          Then you could use the supported subset and not have to worry about supporting every crazy feature, and hopefully get a faster lighter WebView for it.

          But even that’s a lot of work.

            I was thinking along those lines too. I’d love to use servo for projects where I know exactly what I’m going to render, or even as a docs viewer where imperfect rendering is ok
