> and Mozilla gave up on Servo

They didn't "give up" on Servo. Servo was always intended as a test-bed for Firefox engine technologies. It was just some weird false hope in the OSS community that it would be some new "super browser".

They integrated what they were looking for into Quantum and then the community took the browser portion and forked it off+continued development (albeit, without Mozilla sponsorship).



They fired the developers and later gave the project to the Linux foundation. Maybe "give up" is not a perfect fit. But they "abandoned" it for sure.


How is what you said different from what I said? Other than your unrealized personal expectations and emotionally-loaded pedantry.
