I don’t quite understand the effort going into WebXR when there are fundamental layout things missing? Is this a case of: it’s open source and that’s what the contributors want to work on, or something else.
For appish things, since the code can target the browser specifically, it can still be very useful even in cases where the majority of layout features don’t exist
https://developers.google.com/youtube/cobalt/docs/overview comes to mind as an example engine (cut down from blink and V8), no support for float, or grid, you get your standard layout, or flexbox. (so pretty much what servo has right now with this release!), yet it powers things as complex as Youtube’s UI/UX on non-android TVs
Exciting to see (what seems to me like) more activity. As a qutebrowser-user, it really would be nice if there was another viable engine, that can be embedded in a keyboard-first browser.
Firefox extensions get 90% there, which is as good as 0% for me.
If you haven’t heard yet, the servo project got picked up by Igalia. I assume they probably have got some more sponsors too. So yeah, very exciting indeed.

Yes, this work is being done by Igalia for https://wolvic.com/en/ , it’s not something the Servo team themselves are prioritizing.
Ahh thank you. That clears things up.
