The work on "incremental layout" is a really big deal. Style, Paint, and Script are all already reasonably well optimised (leaning heavily on Stylo, WebRender, and SpiderMonkey, all of which are shared with Firefox), so if layout becomes fast then Servo should too.

I do wonder if Servo will ever reach a point where it is competitive on its own and full featured.

Text rendering is not great on Windows 11. E.g., the word "captures" (font-family: "Inter", sans-serif, 16px, weight 500) renders with an extra few pixels on the left side of the "e" depending on the width of the window. The letter right under it, a t, shows the same effect. I think they're both covering the center of the page or div, but the rest of layout doesn't change with the window size. It's jarring.

The page also flickers heavily a few times when resizing it after the application has been in the background.

And that's just a quick check what resizing the window does. Makes me think they're quite far from wide adaptation.

Have you ever seen this font?
