I was mostly responding on the basis of desktop browsers, since most of the rest of this thread has been about desktop browsers. You're right, on mobile the WebKit/Blink duopoly, with the shared code base that does mean that they are closer on feature and bug parity, is pretty problematic, but even there I'd say we're in better shape than the early 2000s IE monopoly.
> Mozilla Research are paying me to work on that in the coming months, as Servo doesn't have the user base that would show many of the site compatibility bugs that arise as a result of their bugs, leaving them disproportionately reliant upon the test suite
Nice, that sounds like it'll be quite useful. I am eagerly anticipating being able to actually use a browser based on Servo day-to-day. There's quite some ways to go, but it's great how much progress its made so far.
