What is Webian Shell?

Webian Shell is an operating system interface focused on web applications, tailored specifically for use within a browser environment. Its back button mimics that of standard browsers, while its window manager acts as a tab manager, enabling any web page to be set as the default homepage. The system can store applications, bookmarks, and browsing history, with the added benefit of synchronization across multiple devices through Webian Home. In its earlier iterations, Webian Shell was built on technologies such as XULRunner, Mozilla Chromeless, and Mozilla's B2G, all of which are now considered outdated. The Gecko engine has evolved from a robust application development platform to a backend solely for Firefox. Following B2G's shift to community-driven development, I envisioned utilizing B2G OS as a base, capitalizing on a newly structured architecture that differentiated between system chrome and web services, thereby allowing for creative enhancements. This strategy not only aims to enhance user experience but also opens doors to innovative functionalities that could redefine how users interact with web applications. By reimagining these frameworks, we can cultivate a more cohesive and engaging web environment for everyone.

What is Servo?

Servo's objective is to provide a standalone, modular web engine that seamlessly integrates into applications, allowing developers to build content using web standards. Engineered in Rust, it benefits from shared codebases with Mozilla Firefox and the wider Rust ecosystem. Since its inception in 2012, Servo has contributed to the evolution of W3C/WHATWG web standards by pinpointing specification challenges and developing new automated tests that are compatible across various browsers, with key team members actively involved in the formulation of accepted new standards. This endeavor not only promotes the advancement of the web platform but is also underpinned by reusable, modular technologies that comply with established web standards. Developers have the opportunity to explore Servo and report any issues through pre-built nightly snapshots, which negates the requirement for local builds. As we advance towards our first developer preview, we are dedicated to improving our security protocols through formal audits and continuing to utilize existing libraries in conjunction with Rust to enhance our methodologies. This commitment to security guarantees that the tools we deliver remain both dependable and secure for developers, fostering a trustworthy environment for innovation and experimentation. The ongoing evolution of Servo stands to benefit not just individual developers but the entire web development community.
