Ok, so this is very early stage but cool:
-
Interesting, I don't know rust but I am interested in this project! Thank you for making me aware of it.
-
Never know man
I will still be using librewolf for the time being but if this develops futher I'd probably use it
But I do hope it comes far >:] one big thing that would help it is if it is easy to emped in web apps like signal desktop and such

Well, from what I've heard, embedding has kind of been the main use case servo has been targeting, so that seems quite possible.

@Blort What does "FOSS forever" mean?
-
@astrojuanlu
As in they've made a commitment not just to release the code they have now under a FOSS license, but also any code they create in the future, too.It's actually their phrase which they explained... I think it was in the video.

@Blort Evidently they want to integrate LLMs.

@Blort I like the idea but is it gonna be competetive with chrome/firefox at all or is this yet another foss browser everyone kinda seems to ignore?

Verso browser will be whatever people make it. If we rally behind it and support it, it could be great. If everyone ignores it, it'll be nothing.
What I know at this point is that it has a lot of the checkboxes I'm personally looking for in a web browser project to promote, namely:
* Render engine that's fast and not from a surveillance company
* Functioning as a non profit
* Completely FOSS
* Awareness of security
* Regular progress -
I hadn't come across Nyxt before. Very cool and unique "all keyboard" browser concept!
Yes, it would be fabulous to see Nyxt+Servo (the render engine behind Verso) together.
I suspect both Nyxt and Verso could co-exist quite nicely as Nyxt seems to be very developer / hacker focused with Verso being more of a general user focus. I'd love to see them both succeed!

While I don't love that all the major browsers are rampaging along that path right now, the nice thing in that clip is that it shows they're planning from the very start that to give the user complete control over what browser info is blocked and what isn't.
I don't see any safeguards like that coming out of the major browsers, likely imo because of their very different incentive structures.
