Servo Web Browser Engine Is Coming To Android & ARM
Mozilla & Samsung have joined hands to develop 'Servo' - a new web browser engine from ground up. In a #-Link-Snipped-#, Mozilla, the company behind Firefox, said that their mission is about advancing the web as a platform for all. Mozilla Research team believes that they need to be prepared for the modern hardware with faster than ever before, multi-core heterogeneous computing architectures. Mozilla has began collaborating with Samsung for the project Servo. The platform will be made available on both Android and ARM, but don't expect it to be production ready in this year.
Mozilla team is 'rethinking' the old assumptions while building the new platform for browsers. This involves addressing causes of security vulnerabilities and designing the software to be prepared for tomorrow's parallel hardware to offer richer web browsing experience.
The Servo web browser engine is being written in a new safe systems programming language called 'Rust'. It's been specially developed by Mozilla in association with developer community. Rust programming language, currently at version 0.6 is available for #-Link-Snipped-#.

Do you think the world needs yet another web browsing engine?

Abhishek RawalAndroid needs a web browser with better engine.All currently available browsers in Android are not good when we compare 'em to Apple's Safari.
Plus,Mozilla had bad time in past dealing with Apple for iOS version of Mozilla firefox,so they decided to shun that project.
However,this is all business :

oprimeWith respect to data consumption and page rendering, I find Opera Mini for Android quite good.

Agreed, Opera has developed a special technology which allows them to compress web pages, and I believe images as well before they are served to the browser. This cuts down the data usage by a huge margin. I'm wondering what's stopping Google from doing this with all their huge data centers.oprimeWith respect to data consumption and page rendering, I find Opera Mini for Android quite good.
Oh by the way did I not highlight the ARM support as well?
