      This post convinced me to become a small sponsor. I’m worrying about where the web is heading especially with the mismanagement of Mozilla, the one counterweight to Chrome. I figured the project that spawned Rust – my favorite language – must surely be worth supporting, especially now they appear to have good momentum.

        Only half-jokingly, I may find myself giving Servo a try now:

        We now support enough of XPath to get htmx working (@vlindhol, #34463), when enabled via –pref dom.xpath.enabled.

        Nice release!

        This is for me the most important part:

        We’ve started laying the groundwork for full incremental layout in our new layout engine, starting with a general layout caching mechanism (@mrobinson, @Loirooriol, #34507, #34513, #34530, #34586). This was lost in the switch to our new layout engine, and without it, every time a page changes, we have to rerun layout from scratch. As you can imagine, this is very, very expensive, and incremental layout is critical for performance on today’s highly dynamic web.
