The Servo open-source and Rust-based web browser engine made a lot of progress during the month of October. The project has issued its monthly status report to outline all of the exciting new features made on the engine itself as well as its "servoshell" example web browser application.

Some of the October 2025 highlights for Servoshell include:

- Support for the "source" tag within "audio" and "video" HTML tags.

- Support for the name and area properties on HTMLMapElement.

- The Servoshell demo browser now ships as native Apple Silicon binaries for macOS with macOS x86_64 no longer being officially supported.

- Easier enabling of the experimental mode for the Servo Shell on Android. Pinch zoom and other features are also now working for servoshell on Android.

- XPath support is now enabled by default.

- Servo now implements enough to get the Speedometer 3.0 and Speedometer 3.1 web browser benchmarks running on macOS.

- Continued improvements around being able to embed the Servo engine for use in other applications.

- Servo now works with vsync display setups.

- A few performance optimizations for servo.

During October was also the Servo 0.0.1 release .
