no, it’s very much not up to web standards yet. it has a super fast html renderer and css engine that support something like 70% of properties, a very barebones js runtime that has basically no browser apis, and a frontend that (i think) only takes urls via command-line.

The less APIs the better, some of the information my phone is giving out currently to evwry site I visit is ridiculous

Honestly that description kinda makes me want to target servo for all of my hobby browser-backed UIs. Html5 with forms can do a surprising amount (albeit not always as effortlessly as just including a JavaScript library) - thigh I expect something like IndexedDB isn’t at all available?

When was the last time you looked into servo because this is dated at best, bordering on misleading. The js support has increased massively over the past year with things like intersectionobserver, shadow dom, and dozens more apis. Stylo supports many newer and advanced css features, of note recently is grid support. And the frontend servoshell has taken urls for a rather long time. If you try it out today with experimental features enabled you’ll find that most websites mostly work.
