Mozilla doesn't care about its community anymore, the lost focus, the mismanage Firefox and its quality gets worse.
The multi process will never work with the current XUL based gecko code base - they could have told us the truth several years ago, instead they put some resources to it, and it gets no we're - it will never work like Chrome 1+ or IE 8+.
Instead they should have focused on maintaining Firefox as it is and put more resources to Servo - which takes way too long already (a new Rust Lang doesn't help).
- johnp_ 9y agoWhere do you get the impression of e10s not working with the current code base? It works pretty great for me with 10+ processes and ~20 add-ons and is already enabled for ~50% of the Firefox population (though with more conservative defaults with the other half mainly blocked on add-on compatibility). There's no maintaining Firefox as it is and integrating Servo (which btw already works quite good on Nightly and webrender is also making great strides). The Rust language actually does help immensely because it makes developing Servo and other rust components way easier. Implementing servo in C++ would have likely taken longer and would definitely have been a maintenance nightmare.
