How usable is Servo nowadays? I remember trying it like 3 years ago (exploring it for integration for a dashboard where Chromium was too heavy), and most websites had major rendering or usability problems to the point that I abandoned the idea.
Probably the best way to get a feel short of actually trying it is to read the monthly reports on their blog [1], it still seems to be not ready to be a daily driver but I still follow blogs and videos about Servo and Ladybird because I’m hopeful we will have some more browser engine diversity someday!

Yes, and if you do want to try it then there are builds available for most platforms: https://servo.org/download
Thanks! I've checked it out, and my quick assessment is that for most static-ish websites I tried, it's not perfect but definitely usable!
Night and day better than 3 years ago. Website like github work properly now. But still a ways to go to catch up with top-tier browsers in both compatibility and performance.
(if testing make sure you enable the "experimental features" using the button in the top-right - the project is far too conservative about this and lots of stuff doesn't work without them)
