    What I got was that there would be no Google or Mozilla specific code/libraries, but FOSS libraries for common media formats would be included so that the project can reach a wider audience.

    AFAIK They use Skia, the rendering library made by Google so this does not appear true either.

        skia doesn’t actually have that many alternatives, and skia is well maintained used by a large amount of projects. and none I am aware of are nearly as mature as skia is.

        I mean, to be fair, Skia appears to be good - Firefox and LibreOffice also use it for example. I believe GNOME Web will also use Skia in GNOME 47. It certainly seems that people are moving away from Cairo and into Skia. For what reason? I don’t know.
