    While it’s not an alternative right now, I think Servo’s focus on being embeddable might help it in the long run. A big issue with Gecko is that it was difficult, if not impossible to embed. It’d be nice to see something like Vivaldi that runs on Servo.

      Oh, that’s fair. I’m not complaining about the work being put into a new browser engine, and there is definitely space for improvement over the ones we have.

      Vivaldi, though? I’d vastly prefer an open source browser, and maybe one with less baggage than Vivaldi has — but I’ll look forward to any GUI implementation of Servo, when and if, etc.

        I was more talking about Vivaldi feature-wise, FWIW. There’s features I’d like from Vivaldi that don’t have a close equivalent to Firefox, not even from its forks (tab tiling’s my go-to example), and maybe in the distant future, there’d be a browser like it running on Servo.
