What web browser engines are under active development?


With the recent layoffs at Mozilla, I'm wondering quite simply: which browser engines are actively being developed, and which browsers are using them? From what I understand, we're just left with WebKit, Gecko, and Blink?

Are there any other engines in active development?

There's something called Servo, although from what I understand, it's not going to be presenting any mainstream competition to Chrome any time soon.

lynx is still under active development, so that might count. It uses a fork of libwww as the engine.

Goanna is a fork of Gecko for Pale Moon, but development is slow.

KHTML is basically in maintainence-only, but is WebKit's ancestor.
