![]() Written in Rust and built for the future, Servo takes full advantage of the memory safety and concurrency features of the Rust programming language, which means faster and more energy-efficient rendering with fewer vulnerabilities. With robust support for WebGL and WebGPU, Servo can handle a wide range of interactive or immersive applications. Rendering engines are a major component of web browsers, but other applications can also benefit from using web technologies for their user interfaces. ![]() Servo is a web rendering engine, a piece of software that processes web pages together with other resources like images and stylesheets, producing output that users can view and interact with. “With almost 24,000 Github stars, not only Servo represents one of the most popular projects in the Rust ecosystem so critical to the design and implementation of memory safe software, but could provide further alternatives in the world of browser engines, at a time where critical EU regulations like the DMA and DSA are set to redefine the very online consumer experience in Europe.” What is Servo? “I am excited to welcome our fourth project in less than a year to Linux Foundation Europe” said Gabriele Columbro, General Manager of Linux Foundation Europe. “We want to build a stronger community around the project, with more organisations and contributors participating in Servo’s development, and we strongly believe being a part of Linux Foundation Europe, within the broader Linux Foundation federation, will help make that possible.” “By joining Linux Foundation Europe, Servo is looking to increase its visibility within the strong grassroots European community, grow in market penetration, and thus its funding potential to ensure long term sustainability”, said Manuel Rego, chair of the Servo Technical Steering Committee. Today we are pleased to announce that the Servo project has officially joined Linux Foundation Europe. In 2023, Servo experienced renewed activity led by Igalia, a Linux Foundation Europe member that now has a team of engineers working on the project. Major components of Servo have been incorporated into the Firefox web browser, and several of its parsers and other lower-level libraries have become foundational to the Rust ecosystem.Īs a promising, modern, and open web engine for building applications and immersive experiences using web technologies, stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020. ![]() Created by Mozilla Research in 2012, the Servo project was the first major Rust codebase other than the compiler itself, and has since been a hallmark for experimental web engine design.
