Project Description

Servo is an open source web rendering engine (the thing that powers browsers like Firefox and Chrome) written from the ground up in the new programming language called Rust. Its purpose is to: validate the latest web standards

prototype risky/experimental technical choices

make use of modern hardware and security practices

act as an incubator for future Firefox technology improvements Servo's goal is full compatibility with existing web content that follows web standards, with competitive performance and improved security compared to other modern web browsers.

Project's Requirements

comfortable using an existing programming language (e.g. any of Python, JavaScript, Java, Ruby, C, etc.)

enthusiastic about learning Rust, which will be the implementation language for all changes to Servo

unafraid of learning enough JavaScript to understand our automated tests

Tasks And Features

Since Servo is still quite incomplete when it comes to compatibility with existing web content, there are many missing pieces. For example: Support responsive images in web content <picture> and <source> elements the sizes and srcset attributes implement the complete image load algorithm implement the reacting to environment changes algorithm

Implement the OffscreenCanvas API for use by websites
