      I mean embedding into applications. There was no documentation or guide for embedding it into anything last I checked and this is just a demo browser that’s being released. If embedding it into applications is as hard as Gecko, it will have no chance against Blink and WebKit.

          So, in order to embed Servo you need:

          • to use Tauri: sure, pull in a huge other project to be able to use our project 🫰
          • use GTK: again, pull in a bunch of unrelated dependencies to be able to embed our project

          I can’t give servo some graphical surface (OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, DX, whatever), call a function to open a webpage and see it draw on that surface. There’s no lib with documentation on crates.io, no bindings for other languages, and non of the things I mentioned in my previous comment.

          It feels like this is built just like Gecko was for Firefox: single consumer with the consumer being the “reference implementation”.

              This is what I said

              There was no documentation or guide for embedding it into

              This is what you posted

              If you’d like to embed Servo in your own application, consider using tauri-runtime-verso, a custom Tauri runtime, or servo-gtk, a GTK4-based web browser widget.

              Great documentation and exceptional guide! 👏 What next, are you going to tell me that the code is the documentation? “Just read the code”?
