The only true alternative I see on the horizon is https://servo.org/ from Mozilla, but it's still a work-in-progress.

My understanding is that there will never be a consumer-facing browser called "Servo." Instead, pieces of Servo will get merged into Firefox as they become production-ready (this has already begun). Presumably, eventually everything will be merged in and Servo will stop existing as a separate project.

Isn't Servo mostly a harness for the rendering engine and some other components, known as WebRender, Quanyum CSS etc wheb used in Firefox.
