This month in Servo: tabbed browsing, Windows buffs, devtools, and more
I pulled last changes to see the new tabs and surprised by RTL support because few weeks ago not supported
I see there PR merged: https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/33148
- Fixing a Bug in Google Chrome as a First-Time Contributor

Verso – web browser built on top of the Servo web engine
Don’t think this really fits in with HN guidelines.
Seriously, check out https://servo.org , they post monthly updates and the progress seems great. And their repo, too - too bad GitHub can’t display code frequency because there’s too many commits in the project.

Servo Web Engine Now Leverages Multiple CPU Cores for Rendering HTML Tables
Here's the (relatively small) commit: https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/32477/commits/d9b842ff6e...
It's using the par_iter() method from Rayon, a Rust data-parallelism library: https://docs.rs/rayon/latest/rayon/iter/index.html

Using Rust to corrode insane Python run-times
Rust is definitely used in Firefox, but Servo[0], which was going to be the replacement browser engine (or at least the testbed for that), was abandoned by Mozilla, in a limbo for some time and now under new stewardship.
On a meta-level, I think the story that people like to tell is that Mozilla chose increasing executive compensation rather than using the same money to keep the Servo (and people working on Rust itself) employed.

Ad-tech setting 'Privacy-Preserving Attribution' is opt-out in Firefox 128
The following Mastodon toot is about https://servo.org that could become another alternative. Quote :
"Servo is faaaar from ready for general use yet, but it's picking up development speed. Definitely an option to keep an eye on for the future. "

I'm Funding Ladybird Because I Can't Fund Firefox
Why is Ladybird getting so much attention. Has anyone herd of servo? They're trying to offload css rendering to the gpu. That could be a big deal in the long run.

Welcome to Ladybird, a independent web browser
Does anyone know, how it compares to Servo?

Welcome to Ladybird
Check what is happening in Servo (https://servo.org). Some active members also want something very modular, and this is helped by work being actively done to use the engine in various contexts.

Ask HN: Best alternative to Chrome for power-user?
I use memory saver on Chrome and it helps substantially but Chrome just doesn't feel right. It might be the most secure browser out there but performance is lacking. Modern software should be more efficient than this. There is open-source Rust browser engine in the making called Servo (https://servo.org/), I hope they eventually come up with more efficient browser.

Qutebrowser v2.0.0 released (with better adblocker)
QtWebEngine already detects a variety of places automatically:
https://github.com/qt/qtwebengine/blob/v5.15.2/src/core/cont...
So that flag is only needed if the file is in some strange place (like I'm guessing is the case on NixOS).
What are some alternatives?
tauri - Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.
qtwebkit - Code in this repository is obsolete. Use this fork: https://github.com/movableink/webkit
webview - Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).
uBlock-for-firefox-legacy - uBlock Origin for Firefox legacy-based browsers.
xi-editor - A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.
falkon - Cross-platform Qt-based web browser
xsv - A fast CSV command line toolkit written in Rust.
keepmenu - Dmenu/Rofi frontend for Keepass databases
Fractalide - Reusable Reproducible Composable Software
qutebrowser - A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on Python and Qt.
