Building a browser using Servo as a web engine


Let's build another web browser based on Servo!

The main reason we want to write UI using Servo itself is that we can dogfood our own stack and verify that it can meet practical requirements, such as prompt windows, context menus, file selectors, and more. With multi-view and multi-window support as the fundamental building blocks, we could create more UI elements to keep pushing the envelope of our browser and embedding research. We want to gather the strength of the community to help us track the statistics of supported CSS properties and web APIs in Servo by popularity order and benchmark results such as jetstream2 and speedometer3.
