Servo
The Rust browser engine supplies rendering, layout, and web-platform work. Galileo inherits that foundation and credits it directly.
About Galileo
Build the browser. Keep the work open.
Galileo is an open-source browser project built in Europe. We start from Servo, add the product work needed around it, and publish evidence before making claims about readiness.
The project
One foundation. Two Galileo layers.
These names describe different responsibilities. Keeping them separate makes the project easier to understand and the engineering claims easier to verify.
Galileo Engine
The accelerated fork and integration layer: compatibility work, media, extensions, product plumbing, and the tests around them.
Galileo Browser
The desktop browser people will eventually use. It remains in development and is not presented as ready for everyday browsing.
Why Galileo exists
Browser work should remain inspectable.
A browser sits between a person and almost everything they do online. That makes ownership, compatibility, security, and long-term maintenance more important than a polished demo.
AI helps a small team carry more implementation work, but people still choose the direction, review the changes, run the tests, and own every public claim. Speed is useful only when the evidence keeps up.
Where it stands
Useful progress. Not a finished browser.
The current build is for development and testing. Compatibility, security qualification, packaging, and release readiness still have open gates.
The roadmap is the source of truth.
Current capabilities, measured evidence, known limitations, and the next release gates are kept together on the Roadmap.
