These pre-built nightly snapshots allow developers to try Servo and report issues without building Servo locally. Please don’t log into your bank with Servo just yet!
Note: A few web platform features required by modern web pages are not enabled
by default. These can be enabled using the "Enable experimental web
platform features" button in the toolbar (shown below) or, when launching from
the command line, by passing the --enable-experimental-web-platform-features
flag to the servo binary.
