Yeah... It's going to take a whole lot more than $1m for this. I am skeptical.

Also not super enthused about another browser written in C++. I skimmed some of their code and it seems pretty high quality, but still... this is going to be chock full of security bugs.

Servo is definitely the more interesting project.

If you are going to do anything stability-based these days, Rust should be a big consideration.
