To hear @aral talk about his latest projects try https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/753 (EU stuff starts around 29:00)

And Daniel Thompson from @TauriApps floats the idea of @crabnebula building a browser at some point in https://changelog.com/podcast/560 around 35:00

@rigo @igalia @changelog @leo @dsearls @methoddan

@rigo paging @aral (haven't you spoken twice at the European Parliament?) …we need an EU browser here in NA too. Maybe @igalia and/or @TauriApps / @crabnebula will keep pushing Servo forward and we’ll get Firecrab 🔥🦀🦊 https://www.igalia.com/2023/09/07/The-Servo-project-is-joining-Linux-Foundation-Europe.html
