I tried Servo

Servo was supposed to be Firefox's future. Now it's an independent effort to make a fast and secure web browser engine.

At the start of the millennium, Internet Explorer used its own Trident engine on Windows and Tasman on Mac, Opera used Presto, some embedded devices used NetFront, Netscape had Gecko, and KDE made KHTML for its Konqueror browser. The United States Department of Justice is currently wrapping up its legal action against Google, which alleged the company of holding a monopoly over search engines that was perpetuated by Chrome and Android's popularity. The company said it could have to "scale back operations and cut support for critical projects like Gecko, the only remaining browser engine competing with Google’s Chromium and Apple’s WebKit."
