Servo was supposed to be Firefox's future. Now it's an independent effort to make a fast and secure web browser engine.

          Yeah, some Rust code from Servo was integrated a few years ago as the article explains, mainly the CSS engine.

            Well Mozilla was a founding member of the Rust foundation. They’re just not a platinum member.

    Another competitor web engine is Ladybird. You might want to take a look at that as well.
