Servo and Ladybird are both nowhere near close to daily drivable (at least for the general public), however Servos been making a ton of progress after their restart and seems much more like an actual chrome competitor then Ladybird. So why do I never see it talked about while Ladybird seems to be the next big topic here?

Keep in mind I do think these are both amazing projects and I really hope they can co-exist

Edit: Looks like the main reasoning is Servo’s focus on being embedded while Ladybird promises a fully functional browser

    Ladybird is new and some people seem to think it’ll be useable for normal desktop usage in the coming years. Servo is 12 years old and markets itself as an embedded browser and thus it’s understood that it won’t catch up to Firefox and Chromium.

    I have no idea why people think Ladybird would be the saviour independent browser when there’s Mozilla with Firefox failing at exaty that. How would Ladybird even finance itself? Ads? Then you’ve got the Mozilla Firefox situation again.
