      Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.

      Essentially it is an alternative to chromium based web browser engines. The other (major) web browser engines are WebKit for iOS and Gecko for Firefox. You can see a list at Wikipedia.

        Minor correction: Blink is the browser engine, Chromium is the open source browser project.

      Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in rust. It was originally started by Mozilla but then abandoned

        Why did they abandon it? I thought they merged it in a while back.

          They were merging parts. They cut active maintance as part of the budget crunch they are under with Google being the primary funding.
