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
