Where do you see Servo going in a year, or two, or five? A robust embedded webview, a thriving gateway for the next generation of browser devs, the foundation of Rust’s web platform story?
With your help, we can make it happen!

- “Inside of every web browser is a rendering engine, like Chromium, WebKit, or Gecko. “These primary engines all have their origins in the late 1990s, and are now supported by huge amounts of money from very large tech companies. “Other web rendering engines, like Servo, are not. “Servo is a web engine built to be robust and easily embeddable, with the memory safety and parallel computing support that comes from being written in Rust. “It’s been used in over 32000 GitHub projects alone, with over 1100 contributors. “And now, you can help us make Servo even better by donating to the brand new Servo collective. “For just 10 USD a month, or whatever amount you can sustain, you can help us cover the infrastructure costs and pay developers to work on Servo to make it better, faster. “Every dollar the collective receives, which is more than 94% of every dollar given, will be dedicated to those purposes. “At just 100 USD per month, we can cover the costs of our website and other core infrastructure. “By reaching 1000 USD per month, we can set up dedicated servers for faster Windows and macOS builds, better test coverage and reliability, and new testing techniques. “Beyond 10000 USD per month, we can pay a developer to make Servo their top priority. “The further we go, the more developer time we can fund. “To help us make all this a reality, please visit opencollective.com/servo to learn more and make a donation today. “And thank you.” (remote)
