Servo now supports devtools again!

Thanks to eri, our latest Outreachy intern, you can now inspect the DOM tree, view styles, evaluate JavaScript, and read console messages.

Run servoshell with --devtools=6080 and connect via about:debugging in Firefox.

Do you know what it takes to turn a web engine into a browser?

Learn how we’re becoming browser-ready, including support for multiple webviews and multiple windows, through the lens of Verso, a new experimental browser based on Servo!

@servo
I wonder why text in the address bar is that way, I observe this in a lot of software in early stages of development: text not being properly vertically centered in a box having only one line, this has to be something common 🤔

The Servo team landed an incredible amount of work and Flexbox is now on by default!

While there's still work to do, this is a huge milestone for Servo! Check out the before & after of the servo.org website below!

On the left is a screenshot of the servo.org website with flexbox disabled. The layout of the page is stacked in rows. On the right, Flexbox is enabled and the site is a combination of columns and rows.

insecurity princess 🌈💖🔥

@servo Please put security on your roadmap sooner rather than later.

"Security later" is a terrible idea for a browser, even early in development. Browsers in the 21st century must be security-first, because attackers are sophisticated and relentless, and browser security is _Hard_.

We are excited to announce that earlier this year in July, Servo received a NLnet grant from @NGIZero to enhance several aspects of Servo.

Under this grant, our primary focus is to:

- Complete float support in Servo
- Support more languages in inline layout
- Add initial <table> support

For floats, our objective is to achieve an average pass rate of over 80%. Last week, we surpassed this for the floats tests, with an 82.2% WPT pass rate.

Floats are now supported in the new Servo nightly!

This is one of the trickiest parts of CSS2, and while there are still some outstanding issues, the pass rate is already far better than it ever was in legacy layout 🎉

Compare 31 August with 1 September:
