The Servo open-source web browser engine has been making good progress in recent times. Long outside the confines of Mozilla and working as a Linux Foundation Europe project, Servo has been advancing thanks to Igalia and other open-source developers while getting by on around ~$5.7k USD per month thanks mostly to donations from individuals. Servo has now announced sponsorship tiers in hopefully to solicit more donations from larger organizations.

Servo's sponsorship tiers announced today range from the "bronze" level at $100 USD per month up to the top-tier "platinum" level with $10k USD monthly contributions from organizations (or individuals). Those contributing at the different sponsorship tiers will be featured on the project's homepage.

I'll say it again: make it actually embeddable instead of just advertising it as embeddable. Once people can actually embed it and use it, maybe then will it get more sponsors. They don't even have a crate one can easily find, no tutorial, but they do have an undocumented example of winit.
