Galileo
The people, the engineering process, and the public record behind the work. This is the project that brings the engine and browser together.
Why Galileo existsGalileo / built from Servo
A browser engine. A desktop browser.
We are a small European team using AI to move open-source development faster without handing over the engineering decisions. Our first project is Galileo Engine and Galileo Browser, built from Servo. The next goal is a genuinely usable alpha; compatibility, security, and release readiness still have to be earned.

How Galileo fits together
One project. An engine. A browser.
Galileo is the project. Galileo Engine is the technical foundation, derived from Servo. Galileo Browser is the desktop product built on top. Each name has one clear job.
Galileo Engine
Our Servo-derived engine work. This is where integration, web compatibility, media, extensions, and the tests around them are developed.
Inside the engineGalileo Browser
The desktop product built on Galileo Engine. It brings the shell, navigation, profiles, settings, and user experience into one browser.

The foundation comes first.
Galileo does not begin from a blank file. It begins with Servo and more than a decade of work by Mozilla Research, maintainers, and the open-source community.
Mozilla Research starts Servo.
A browser engine in Rust, with a real rendering pipeline, serious standards work, and an architecture designed to be embedded and extended.
The community carries it forward.
Maintainers — later with the Linux Foundation — develop Servo into a serious embeddable engine. Galileo inherits that work and credits it directly.
Galileo takes a different branch.
Galileo Engine develops that foundation toward a desktop product. The team owns the review, testing, and every claim made about the result.
Where the work stands
Development, with the gates still open.
The current build is useful for engineering and testing. Compatibility, security, reliability, and packaging still have to pass before Galileo Browser can be offered as an everyday browser.
Servo-derived foundation
The project starts from Servo and keeps that technical ancestry explicit.
Engine and browser integration
The shell, engine integration, compatibility work, extensions, and release tooling are being developed together.
A usable alpha
An alpha comes after the published gates, not after a date chosen for presentation.
The method
AI-assisted. Human-owned.
AI can carry volume and shorten iteration. The team remains responsible for architecture, review, testing, evidence, and the decision to release.
