Ladybird seems to be the next big topic but where's the discussion around Servo?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Servo and Ladybird are both nowhere near close to daily drivable (at least for the general public), however Servos been making a ton of progress after their restart and seems much more like an actual chrome competitor then Ladybird. So why do I never see it talked about while Ladybird seems to be the next big topic here?
Keep in mind I do think these are both amazing projects and I really hope they can co-exist
Edit: Looks like the main reasoning is Servo's focus on being embedded while Ladybird promises a fully functional browser
Servo is a web rendering engine, not a browser.
Also, Ladybird is newer, and therefore news to more people. That, along with the fact that it only recently became a stand-alone project, could explain why you see more talk about it lately.
Ladybird to be a browser must also be a rendering engine tho? The biggest compliant ive heard of Firefox vs Chrome is that Firefox isnt ment to be embedded, which makes Servo more of a chrome competitor than Ladybird which would just replace Firefoxes role rather then be something better. Not that I'm again their focus on being a browser, if that focus can get them to a useable state quicker
