> a few recent Chakra improvements coming up in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update
As much as I am happy about Microsoft's decision to join the evergreen movement, I'd be even happier if they did not attach browser updates to OS updates. Considering how reluctant people about updating their OS, it kind of defeats the purpose of evergreen when it takes months for people to move to a new version. For example, accroding to StatsCounter[1] Edge 13 is used on 2.5% of desktops while Edge 12 is still on 0.25%, that's like 1 in 10 users of Edge is stuck on an outdated version.
>Deferred parsing for event-handlers
Nice, though, it's funny how we have invested so much into libraries and coding practices that minimize the amount of DOM event-handlers to finally side-step the issue by deferring their parsing.
>The results below show Microsoft Edge continuing to lead both benchmarks.
For about a week until the next version of Chrome or Firefox beats the numbers and announces that they are "continuing to lead".
