CSS Grid is now enabled by default in Servo 🎉 One of the most powerful web layout systems is now available in an independent Rust web engine. It's powered by the library Taffy & enabled thanks to Nico Burns. A huge milestone for CSS layout in Servo!

what have we been working on lately? We have been working on our search engine and our ad service, all privacy focused! want to check our our search engines bsky account? @service1.bsky.social It got a awfully bad profile, so anyone who wants can make their own, ping us and we might add it!

We have added a part of the peanut protocol (developed by spinning cube) where we do peanut://settings, to access the data of the browser! Next step would be.. Adding a own domain only accessible to our browser, and how would we find them? spinning cube wont stop amaze us, he made a search engine!

To be clear, im new to rust, and what ive done so far is learning rust, tried making minor changes and inspected the servo browser AND bevy, together with streaming me learning rust, from now and forth i will start posting links with my streams :D #rust #bevy #rust-lang #100days #servo #firefox #yt

Because browsers are hard im doing a small project btw, a minecraft clone coded in rust (partially because its the only coding lang i know, and yeah), right now it seems like its gonna be luanti, but recoded, wish me luck, xD #rust #luanti #minecraft #minetest #opensource #post #RingTail

during the time i code ringtail i will be training an ai called ferris, ferris will be mostly trained on rust and will be my companion and bug fixer, every now and il post short snipets of its respons like: You: fn main() { println?("No") } Bot: /Odecc"/bc_i) N`/in = c You: as you see its wrong

RingTail finally has a Discord home. If you’re into Rust, Servo, privacy tech, or just want to watch a browser get built from scratch (with a raccoon mascot causing chaos), come join us. discord.gg/En7XWsCBbu Let’s build something weird and better for the web.

discord.ggJoin the Ringtail Discord Server!Welcome to RingTail! A cozy, hand‑drawn browser guarded by Rap — a mischievous raccoon who steals cookies before trackers can. Privacy‑first. Open development. Friendly community. Grab a seat and say ...

Full technical stack for the nerds: Engine: Servo (Rust) HTML parsing: html5ever (Rust) JS engine: Boa renamed SpooderGorilla (Rust) Search: Whoogle rewritten in Rust (mostly) Network: Custom .peanut DNS (Rust) 100% Rust. Almost No C++. No Google.

But here's where it gets interesting. RingTail ships with its own network layer called .peanut minecraft.peanut yourcoolsite.peanut Only RingTail users can access it. Everyone gets 5 free domains. Registered via @ ringtail.peanut account. A web within the web

Every ad on the web gets replaced by Rap — our raccoon mascot. But Rap does more than replace ads. Rap reacts to your privacy score. Happy on clean sites. Concerned on tracker-heavy ones. Privacy shouldn't be boring.

Why does Rust matter for a browser? Chrome has had hundreds of CVEs from memory bugs. Buffer overflows. Use-after-free exploits. Rust makes these entire attack classes structurally impossible. RingTail isn't just more private. It's safer at the foundation level

RingTail's privacy stack goes beyond Firefox: → DNS over HTTPS, always on → CNAME cloaking detection → Full storage partitioning → Canvas/audio/WebGL fingerprint blocking → WebRTC leak prevention → Forced HTTPS everywhere Not settings. Defaults.

Chrome is the new Internet Explorer. Dominant. Bloated. Owned by an advertising company that profits from tracking you. Firefox was the answer once. It's losing its way. The web needs a new Firefox moment. That's what RingTail is.

Most Chrome alternatives are just Chrome with a coat of paint. Brave? Chromium. Edge? Chromium. Arc? Chromium. RingTail is built on Servo — a browser engine written entirely in Rust. No Google DNA anywhere in the stack. Hey @servo.org - am trying to build something on top of the engine :D
