Always shade thrown at "in Rust" and I don't like how it's become buzz-wordy, but here it seems appropriate- not because "oh I might use this browser because it's written in rust" more like a great resource to understand how so many various features and functionality are implemented and fit together in a particular language that might be of interest.

If this were written in D or Zig or something other than C++, I think that's unique and worth mentioning.

What a cool project to be open source. Browsers do a lot of crazy stuff.



Fun fact: Rust's development saw significant traction and support by Mozilla in the first place to be used for the development of Servo. Or in other words, the eventual development of Servo was, what motivated the development of of Rust from pet project into what it is today.


It is a signal of quality. There are entire classes of bug which are much less likely to occur in apps written in rust.

As with all signals, it is neither a guarantee nor entirely meaningless.
