   I really wish a patron would step up and sponsor this project. Not just by money, but also by plugging it in their browser-carrying products. Maybe Hauwei of Samgsung; they now sling a browser derived of another for-profit --usually competitor-- company's browser.

      Huawei are funding Servo. They have a small full time team on it and are the main reason the project got revived in 2022.

         That’s interesting, anyone have more info on how why this came about? The why is pretty clear at least.

            It came about because US sanctions on Huawei mean that they are unable to make contributions to any of the major browser engines which are all controlled by US entities.
