Blink and Servo

It is a back to back news on web browsers.

First, Mozilla and Samsung are working together on new Servo web browser engine for Android and ARM. Servo itself is written in Rust, a programming language developed by Mozilla.

Should Samsung ever want to fork Android, they would have their own web browser.

Second, Google announces Blink, a new open source rendering engine based on WebKit.

In a sense that Google is in a disagreement on what direction Webkit should go.

Bring on all the different web browsers, as long as they adhere to one HTML standard.

 

 

Font Rendering on Web Browsers

It is interesting how different Web Browsers render fonts. I wonder why Google Chrome on this particular computer running Windows 7 doesn’t render the fonts correctly.
