Hi,

I remember that 2-3 years ago I successfully used Gecko component
described here:
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GeckoPort_version2

But seems that it is not supported anymore. I can't even find it in
Lazarus CCR repository. XUL link seems to be also marked as archive by
Mozilla.
Here someone says that Gecko is not developed any more by Mozilla:
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,35199.msg232496.h
tml#msg232496
They changed it to Servo, but my recent research finding it in name
Quantum. Do we have anything for this in Lazarus? Anyone familiar with
the subject?

Note: I'm not interested in Chromium engine, it must be embedded
FireFox

Regards.

Edit: Here also info that Gecko is deprecated:

US/docs/Mozilla/Gecko/Embedding_Mozilla/FAQ/Embedding_Gecko

Edit2: Downloaded and tested binary on Linux. Seems to working fine:
https://servo.org/ . But how to embedd it in Lazarus app? There is
some rust and glutin stuff
