Any mac users out there who tried this browser? Linux alpha is coming this month so will try it myself then.

It sounds like they are building a new browser from the ground up.

Not really from the grounds up as it uses WebKit.

Used it very shorty on a mac, but as it really is very similar to safari there is little to no reason to use it.

On a linux maybe, but i think i will stay on firefox until servo is usable. (Which is actually being made from the grounds up)

    On Linux there is Falkon. Windows too. (QT WebKit) And the reason I won't use this will likely be the same as Falkon. Missing plugins etc. Other than that they are fine. Bitwarden has a desktop app. (Electron? Dunno but it would be ironic) But no auto fill ability. Darkreader? Nope. There may be some limited adblocking, but no greasemonkey type functionality.

    Servo was developed by Mozilla between 2012 and 2020. In 2020 they layed off the people who were working on it and transferred to the Linux foundation. Servo was partially integrated into gecko as part of the Quantum project.

    Not sure Servo will ever be usable. Is it still in active development?
