I already use a crippled browser for my day-to-day browsing: Tor Browser. I'd be happy with a browser that's as non-leaky as that. Tor Browser works fairly well, but I'd prefer a lighter browser if I had the option.

Given the security properties of Rust, it would be pretty compelling to use Servo over Tor

I would recommend against using the Servo alpha against Tor, though; some web security features (eg stuff like CORS, though our CORS support is okay) aren't there yet IIRC.

(Of course, this will change over time, just that I don't expect it to be 100% secure by June)

Rust is secondary to the issue. I am more concerned about how much browsers divulge when asked. Test your browser at https://www.browserleaks.com/
