It is good to see Servo starting to render the real web much more effectively. Ladybird is still a little further ahead when it comes to working with real websites, but I think the gap is narrowing. Servo seems to be catching up on the Web Platform Tests for example.
Servo is still faster than Ladybird I think, especially with regards to JavaScript. It is a bit ironic that the JavaScript engine is one part of Servo that is not Rust-based, whereas the first use of Rust in Ladybird was a rewrite of their JavaScript engine. Perhaps the two projects will be able to share more code in the future.
One area where I certainly prefer the Servo approach is that Servo is still actively trying to attract contributors, including maintaining a list of easier-to-tackle tasks for new contributors. Ladybird has stopped accepting external contributions due to bandwidth concerns related to AI. I ported Ladybird to musl and Chimera Linux for my own use and was going to contribute my changes back but they closed down contributions before I could.
