I wonder if servo could be turned into a safer electron alternative.

Others have linked it, so just the summary here. Tauri is an alternative to Electron. But unlike electron, Tauri doesn't bundle the web engine (blink) and uses the platform's webview instead. Tauri and Servo teams are working together on integrating the latter as the engine.

Speaking of which, it's crazy how Mozilla keeps almost developing technologies that Google later copies and profits from, but keeps giving up at the last minute.
