    I think Servo (another browser engine) is now being developed by The Linux Foundation, hopefully that goes somewhere. I believe it is also mostly rust, so it would be safe from memory-based security issues. servo.org

      It's primarily being developed by Igalia, a worker-owned cooperative!

        I think it's still in development, it seems like they have nightly builds but they don't guarantee security at all. I would say it's not ready yet, so on Firefox I shall remain.

        On the website:

        These pre-built nightly snapshots allow developers to try Servo and report issues without building Servo locally. Please don’t log into your bank with Servo just yet!

        Edit Again: Yeah I just downloaded the nighly build, very barebones, doesn't render much. I'm assuming it's not even close to being finished, but something to look forward to, I guess.

      i have been waiting for servo for years and sadly it doesn't looks like it will be usable any time soon, which is really a shame since firefox has been getting worse for a while
