Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

It probably has been done before. No shame on chrumium, it's good browser, but come one people, skins are not separate browsers
There's also stuff like Kraken, whatever SerenityOS is doing for its web browser and what I hope takes over very soon - Servo.

what do you think about alternative browser engines?
Once there was Kosmonaut and Kraken, now there is WebF (Web on Flutter).

Konqueror deserves more love
One can dream and it would be awesome if Konqueror could get much, much love - fundings, people interested on it and working for it, making it shine and gain back its old glory. We can dream about The Linux Foundation getting funds to keep goin with Servo and not letting it die so we could use it as another backend with Konqueror, same as how you can right now pick between Webkit or KHTML. Or maybe some other new project like Kraken. But none of us can predict the future so who knows what's gonna happen.

Write in JavaScript, Render in Flutter
As a Flutter developer, "Write in JavaScript, Render in Flutter" is vague.
It's "Write Flutter apps in Javascript". Flutter is not a "renderer", Flutter is a framework + engine. "Kraken" literally builds widgets for you when you write Javascript code, Flutter is doing a lot more than "rendering".
"Kraken" is like React Native, but instead of talking to the host platform, it uses Flutter. Flutter is already cross platform, so the only benefit here is to write in Javascript. However, you would probably inherit some costs similar to React Native: communication between a Javascript Engine/ interpreter and a AOT compiled application. This time, you don't get to use the react-native-plugin NPM packages, because you'd need kraken-flutter-plugins.
The biggest concern I have is usability. How will I use popular Flutter packages, from Javascript? The "Kraken" community is very small. Even worse, the community seems purely based in China.
It's very difficult to understand the health of the codebase with all these github issues written in Mandarin Chinese: https://github.com/openkraken/kraken/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%...

CSS for Printing to Paper
> Is there any easy to use/hack HTML layouting engine where I could experiment with custom CSS attributes and bridge that gap? Would anything from Servo be suitable?
Servo could be used for this. You'd want to add support for parsing the CSS properties themselves to the style crate in https://github.com/servo/stylo and then the layout implementation to the layout2020 crate in https://github.com/servo/servo. You do effectively get a whole browser though.
I'm currently working on building a lighter weight / hackable layout engine based on a combination of https://github.com/servo/stylo (for css parsing and selector resolution), https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy (for box-level layout) and https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text (for flow/inline layout). I expect to have something decent in around 6 months
Neither of these setups currently have any support for pagination though.

The Ladybird Browser Project
Great to see some competition still alive in browser engine development. See also Servo (previously part of Mozilla) https://servo.org/ - that and Ladybird are still very underdeveloped compared to every day browsers.
It's a huge shame that there are no nightly builds of ladybird to try out but I assume that's because they just don't want the bug reports (if everything doesn't work it's pointless getting random bugs filed).

Modern Java/JVM Build Practices
The world has moved on though to opinionated tools, and Rust isn't even the furthest in that direction (That would be Go). The equivalent of those two lines in Cargo.toml would be this example of a basic configuration from the jacoco-maven-plugin: https://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/examples/build/pom.x... - That's 40 lines in the section to do the "defaults".
Yes, you could add a load of config for files to include/exclude from coverage and so on, but the idea that that's a norm is way more common in Java projects than other languages. Like here's some example Cargo.toml files from complicated Rust projects:
Servo: https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/main/Cargo.toml
rust-gdext: https://github.com/godot-rust/gdext/blob/master/godot-core/C...
ripgrep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/Cargo.toml
socketio: https://github.com/1c3t3a/rust-socketio/blob/main/socketio/C...

❓ Is Google flagging activity from Firefox and targeting uBlock?
It won't don't worry. There already are forks, for the worst case scenario. And Servo is on its way. Not yet ready, but it will be. Originally, from Mozilla kitchen.

Populating the page: how browsers work
To pain broad strokes, the layout phase (~= take the HTML, take the CSS, determine the position and size of boxes) is largely sequential in production browser engine today. Selector matching (~= what CSS applies to what element) is parallel in Firefox today, via the Stylo Rust crate originally developed in the research browser engine Servo. Servo can do parallel layout in some capacity (but doesn't implement everything), https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Servo-Layout-Engines-Rep... is an interesting and recent document on the matter.
Parallel layout is generally considered to be a complex engineering problem by domain experts.
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/08/inside-a-super-fast-css-en... is a really cool article that is related, that is a few years old but what it says is largely correct today.

Rusty revenant Servo returns to render once more
[Article author/submitter here]
I can only tell you that it is not what this is about, inasmuch as I was at the talk and there was not a single mention of Firefox Reality or Wolvic in the talk.
Wolvic might use Servo – but I think if it did they would mention it, right?
The talk didn't and the word "Wolvic" does not occur anywhere on https://servo.org
So I am guessing not, no.
Igalia has -- or rather is because it's a co-op -- about 100 developers. They are not all working on the same thing.
