For the love of all that is good,
someone PLEASE create a browser UI around Servo that is:

*
#copyleft #FOSS
* Community governed
* Has daily testing packages
* Community funded non profit
* Avoids off device
#AI
* Communicates clearly

I worked professionally with high profile
#crowdfunding campaigns for years. I am 100% certain a campaign would go viral, with stretch goals blown away.

#Servo isn't feature complete, but many (me!) would 100% daily drive something alpha, buggy and missing features to build a better future. Hint: this is exactly what successfully launched FIrefox against #IE.

We need hope we can escape the sinking, Titanic shitopoly of
#Chrome and #Firefox. We will rally around any principled alternative.
