Hmmm... if they could raise money, Servo and the "rust" link could have decent brand backing... Many alpha-geeks know of it.

Yeah, you're probably right especially considering rust. Maybe they can crowdfund it. I think a lot of us and many others using OSS would pitch in to see that happen.

Same. As someone building a web app, the existence of good non-Blink/Webkit browsers is matter of importance to me, and I'd happily help to fund alternatives.

WebCore is already far diverged from Blink, and V8 was made from the scratch. WebKit is a solid alternative to Chromium.
