Is the Servo originated engine ( WebRender) doing that well in Firefox? Feels like it's very slow work to make it enabled by default in stable and the speedups haven't been yhat great, meanwhile there are basically 2 very different modes that they have to support and maintain.
(this is just because GPU drivers are so flaky afaict)
- sanxiyn 6y agoIt took a long time, but WebRender is now enabled everywhere if you are on Windows 10 (and not on battery power). Current status here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/WebRender_Where https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/WebRender_Where

- fulafel 6y agoreplying to myself, apparently there's a software based webrender code path in developent too, maybe the long term plan is to drop the non-webrender code paths and just fall back to sw-webrender on setups where there are GPU driver problems?
