It's really just an announcement of an announcement. Or charitably, a confirmation that they don't plan on missing the June release date.

I've been checking their mailing list and bug tracker and saw nary a peep about the alpha, so it's good to hear something.

No. The blog post says to expect the announcement later this week.

I've edited the title to get it more in line with the blog post

In their blog post, what do they mean by "public domain list"?

I think they mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Suffix_List

I don't understand the graphs under the link. Under all colors it says "servo" and "linux64". So what is Firefox (gecko), what servo?

Does anyone know what is on Y axis in comparison graph? Is it load time in miliseconds? Are green and red lines for Firefox and others for servo? Servo is written in every case there, but green and red have "gecko" prefix.

So they achieved a 25% performance increase all from better parsing and a better algorithm for this[1] list? That's unexpected indead. I would love to see a blogpost with details on that.

Is this the browser.html that is referenced? https://github.com/browserhtml/browserhtml

`Browser.html: an experimental browser UI for desktop.`
