Real web content is complex. Right now, Servo is closer to a proof-of-concept in many ways, because a lot more effort is required to get it consistently rendering complex websites. |

This may be a dumb question, but I want to know what the difference is between Servo and a browser.
Here are some examples of sites that I went to using Servo. They load, but the elements are broken or there are issues with loading the page properly.

Can someone comment on what else is needed in order to turn this into a browser? You can't scroll and you also can't click on any of the hyperlinks. Many of the images won't load.
Again, maybe this is a stupid question, but is this repo supposed to be a proof of concept for how a finished engine should look or is it assumed there is a bunch of heavy lifting that isn't shown? And if so, where can I find more information on making this work more like a browser?
Thanks.
