Servo and Ladybird are both nowhere near close to daily drivable (at least for the general public), however Servos been making a ton of progress after their restart and seems much more like an actual chrome competitor then Ladybird. So why do I never see it talked about while Ladybird seems to be the next big topic here?

Keep in mind I do think these are both amazing projects and I really hope they can co-exist

Edit: Looks like the main reasoning is Servo's focus on being embedded while Ladybird promises a fully functional browser

I mean, that's why you haven't been hearing of them. I consider myself "hip" with the FOSS scene and this is the very first time I've ever even heard of Servo... So it is what it is. Once they release a stable client (hell, even a usable one), if they're worth their salt, then they'll be used. If they release soon they can ride the wave of people fleeing Firefox.

Yea my post was more asking why I'm hearing so much about only Ladybird when their in equally unuseable states. All the comments point twords Servo pushing itself as embedded rather then being a browser project (dispite having a mockup browser GUI) which is fair
