Sure, but you're basically re-implementing big parts of the OS in the browser. Which is maybe not a bad idea, but at some point there's inception.
- pcwalton 9y agoThere's a good reason to, in this case: that the OS compositor is not designed to render the full generality of CSS. The status quo is not working: only about half of CSS animations in the wild run on the compositor. As browser vendors, we need to admit that the attempt to carve out a limited, fast subset of CSS has failed, and we should do the hard work to make all of CSS run fast.
