Servo is written in rust. Rust puts safe, precise memory management front and center of everything. This should result in a browser engine which is less vulnarable to exploits. Not being a Firefox user on Windows, this can be very interesting for Unix users which have grsec, apparmor and firejail as OS based hardening/sandboxing tools. Anyone knowing something of security, in his right mind and not haevily seduced by spiritial stuff could not advise using Firefox without a third party sandbox on Windows. On unix with all these security features and sandboxes available it is a whole different ball game.
