Feels like the author is biased towards Servo...

To say "one is a browser engine and the other is browser" and then explain engine advantage as "embedability" without explaining browser advantage as "whole ready product" is unfair, imo

View on HN

The engine approach seems like a solid advantage to me given that at least one decent browser has been built around it. Servo can ultimately support end users who just want a browser built off of it, and developers who want to build a browser with it. Ladybird can only support the former.

The author points out the strengths and weaknesses of both browsers. Ladybird is better in some regards, Servo in others. Seemed v. fair.

you don't point out strengths of both browsers by pointing out strengths of only one of them

The article has a whole section about how Ladybird scores better on several web benchmarks. Even if you don't read the article it's right there under the title:

"I believe that Ladybird has more funding and better support for the web, but Servo wins in performance. Though, they're hard to compare directly!"

Sounds pretty balanced to me.
