- kevingadd 15y agoMy understanding is that between Chrome 13 and Chrome 14, they switched canvas backends. The new backend was a partial (perhaps even complete) rewrite that introduced some bugs and changed performance characteristics. I think the purpose of it was to introduce more pervasive hardware acceleration. They were originally going to roll out the new backend in Chrome 13, but they had to turn it off because it was too buggy.
