Anyone searching for a free and open source XUL-based web browser solution
About Basilisk
A XUL-based web browser demonstrating the Unified XUL Platform (UXP). This browser is a close twin to pre-Servo Firefox in how it operates. Basilisk is a free and Open Source XUL-based web browser, featuring the well-known Firefox-style interface and operation. It is based on the Goanna layout and rendering engine (a fork of Gecko) and builds on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), which in turn is a fork of the Mozilla code base without Servo or Rust. Basilisk is primarily a reference application for the development of the XUL platform it builds upon, and additionally a potential replacement for Firefox. Basilisk is development software. This means that it should be considered more or less "beta" at all times; it may have some bugs and is provided as-is, with potential defects. Like any other free software community project, it comes without any warranty or promise of fitness for any particular purpose.

Servo
Servo’s mission is to provide an independent, modular, embeddable web engine, which allows developers to deliver content and applications using web standards. Servo is written in Rust, and shares code with Mozilla Firefox and the wider Rust ecosystem. Since its creation in 2012, Servo has contributed to W3C/WHATWG web standards by reporting specification issues and submitting new cross-browser automated tests, and core team members have co-edited new standards that have been adopted by other browsers. As a result, the Servo project helps drive the entire web platform forward while building on a platform of reusable, modular technologies that implement web standards. Pre-built nightly snapshots allow developers to try Servo and report issues without building Servo locally. Now that we’ve released our first developer preview, we’ll be investing in formal security audits and improving our security practices using both existing libraries and Rust.
