It is nice to see the multiple windows feature finally working. I have seen many projects fail because they could not handle the complexity of the modern web. This update shows that Servo is becoming a serious tool and not just an experiment. We need this to succeed to keep the internet healthy.

I haven't been keeping track on servo's progress too much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to download and run it without having to worry about building it. It already supports multiple tabs. It was able to load HN and a few other sites I threw at it just fine. Couldn't run YouTube videos but that's understandable. Gives me at least some optimism for the future.

I am also really rooting for Ladybird [0]. I wish they'll take some inspiration from this and provide prebuilt versions for people to try soon.

The FAQ says:

> We are targeting Summer 2026 for a first Alpha version on Linux and macOS. This will be aimed at developers and early adopters.

With that being said, building Ladybird is quite trivial, the scripts in the repo take care of everything, it just takes some time.

I must have missed that, thanks. I did build it recently, and yes it wasn't complicated, but it took ages.

It seems a lot of progress is being made towards making this a viable embedded web engine.

Nice to see donations are steadily growing, it's a well deserved project for the health of the web.
