Description
Basilisk is a web browser built on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), showcasing the functionality that closely resembles pre-Servo Firefox. This free and open-source browser utilizes a Firefox-like interface and operates similarly to its predecessor. It leverages the Goanna rendering engine, a derivative of Gecko, while drawing from the Mozilla codebase without incorporating Servo or Rust. Basilisk serves primarily as a reference application to facilitate the ongoing development of the XUL platform it is based on, and it also presents itself as a viable alternative to Firefox. As development software, Basilisk is essentially in a perpetual "beta" phase, which means users may encounter bugs and are advised that it is offered in its current state with possible flaws. Furthermore, like other projects within the open-source community, it is provided without any guarantees or assurances regarding its suitability for any specific use case, highlighting the importance of user discretion. This aspect of the software reinforces the collaborative nature of its development, inviting contributions and feedback from the community.
Description
Servo aims to offer a standalone, modular web engine that can be easily embedded, enabling developers to create applications and content via web standards. Developed in Rust, it shares code with both Mozilla Firefox and the broader Rust community. Since launching in 2012, Servo has played a role in shaping W3C/WHATWG web standards through the identification of specification issues and the creation of new cross-browser automated tests, with core team members contributing to the editing of new standards that have gained acceptance among various browsers. This initiative not only advances the web platform as a whole but also relies on a foundation of reusable, modular technologies that adhere to web standards. Developers can experiment with Servo and report any problems by utilizing pre-built nightly snapshots, eliminating the need for local builds. As we move forward with the release of our initial developer preview, we are committed to enhancing our security measures through formal audits, while also leveraging existing libraries alongside Rust to bolster our practices. This focus on security ensures that the tools we provide are both reliable and safe for developers.
