The web (HTML/CSS/JS/JIT/WebAssembly/Audio/WebGL/WebRTC/etc) engine is exactly the same, the rendering engine (WebRender) is the same, synchronization is the same.
The UI is completely new - that's it.
This is not a wholly new browser, this is a wholly new UI.
- TrianguloY 4y agoI though that fennec was a monolithic implementation for android of the Gecko engine, while fenix has the ui part and the geckoview part separated (so you could create a different app with the same rendering engine, like webview of android). I have read that geckoview takes the old gecko implementation, probably copied and adapted, but other than that it's a new project with a different development path. That's why I say it's a different browser. I may be wrong though,I tried to search for sources but unfortunately couldn't find any.
