@Blort@social.tchncs.deSo, this might seem small, but it's a really cool step forward for #Verso browser (using the next gen, #Rust based, #multithreaded, memory safe @servo engine rather than #Chrome's monopoly #Blink or #Mozilla's #Gecko engines).
They got tabs!
Doesn't *every* browser have tabs? Sure, but others are basically just GUI's slapped on a couple of pre-existing engines. Verso is rebuilding the browser from the ground up using #Servo and #FOSS, even for the #UI.
Early shots fired, #Blink/#Webkit!
What this also means is that a number of fairly technical challenges have been overcome for things like rendering multiple views depending on interactions with the Servo rendered UI.
I'm reminded of Carl Sagan's "to make a cake from scratch you must first invent the entire universe". Well kids, we're at the point where we're starting to see cake!
Here's their support page, by the way:
