Servo VS qutebrowser

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

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.

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

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.

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. "

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.

Does anyone know, how it compares to Servo?

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.

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.

I don'r know if this counts but there is also https://www.qutebrowser.org/ which uses qt webkit IIUC

I searched this issue and saw there were already open issues on github, and it is an upstream issue with QtWebEngine.

You can add [aria-haspopup] to your hints.selectors setting (from a config.py, see the configuration docs) to get the same effect.

There is a small how-to here: Switching to Qt 6 by default · Issue #7202 · qutebrowser/qutebrowser

There is a Qutebrowser user script for 1password: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/misc/userscripts/qute-1pass. Disclaimer: I am the original author (it’s been refactored a lot by mkonig since I originally wrote it). My original version is here https://github.com/tomoakley/dotfiles/blob/master/qutebrowser/userscripts/1password

Glad to hear! You'd either add it to the userscripts folder in the repo, or add a link to the README about it and host it elsewhere.

It seems to work fine with Qt 6, so I guess this is just some missing feature on Qt 5. Maybe something changed on Wikipedia's side.
