My experience in daily use of Firefox post-Servo is that all page loads have essentially been instantaneous. This is of course subjective based in part on hardware, so I'm not disputing your assessment.
As far as I'm aware, Servo is at the bleeding edge of performance under the hood. Its hybrid glyph rendering system for example is state-of-the-art.
- Miraste 6y agoI'm no browser architect--I don't know how the rendering engines compare, and of course it depends on the site and the extensions used. I did just time some popular websites, and confirmed my impressions. For example, nytimes.com gives 0.5s on Safari with Adguard 1.6s on Chrome with uBlock Origin 2.5s on Firefox with uBlock Origin which is pretty representative.
- foota 6y agoHave you tried it without ublock out of curiosity?
- Miraste 6y agoWithout uBlock it's Chrome 2s, Firefox 3s.
- ffpip 6y agoMake sure it is not some extension in the background. Because Firefox is the fastest on my Windows PC
- Miraste 6y agoThat was in private windows with no extensions. I tried it on my Windows machine with no extensions too, and it was 1.44 to 1.51, basically margin of error. I know MacOS Firefox has really lagged on performance improvements in the past. It could be a Mac-only issue.
- vhbit 6y agosome bits "born for Servo" are integrated into Firefox, but that's far away from "post-Servo"
