The Servo browser engine project born out of Mozilla as an early Rust project and now advanced by open-source developers from various firms continues moving forward. Servo has finally scratched animated GIF support off its TODO list among other features.

The Servo project published their monthly status update concerning development work during May 2025. Some of the latest features now enabled for Servo is support for displaying animated GIFs as a big addition. Servo also can now load SVG images via the HTML "img" tag, improvements to the Servo continuous integration (CI) are ongoing via Outreachy, and work on incremental layout handling.

Servo has also been advancing its Trusted Types API, input type="color" support, better layout and CSS support, and a variety of other APIs and features supported.

Servo also continues doing more to enhance the developer experience around Servo's embed support for leveraging Servo within applications as an alternative to Chromium's CEF. The Servoshell as the example Servo demo browser also continues tacking on more functionality.
