Firefiox: I remember the first few versions since the rewrite. It was very fast. Fast forward to today and it's so slow.

It gives rust a bad name because this is one of the bigger rust products I know.



Hardly any of firefox is using rust. Servo was abandoned. I think the only rust part of FF right now is the CSS engine.

Servo was abandoned after all of the fanfaire? Was a reason ever given? I thought we were in the servo era.
