Oh and before anyone brings up funding success, or lack thereof of Servo / Verso:

Servo is not a public facing project, like an app, and as such is more difficult to get people to invest in, especially without a large number of users. A decent browser project would address this.

Verso never directly sought funding from the public. While having a number of good points ideologically (non profit, FOSS), their communications were highly inexperienced. No website. No social media presence. A tagline about blues music rather than why they were building it. For these reasons and more, it's been unmaintained for months. They site lack of support and finances, I suspect from being largely unknown and difficult to try. I wish them well and would love to see them rise from the ashes again.
