I'm currently working on WebKit support in Boxy SVG (https://boxy-svg.com/ideas/95 https://boxy-svg.com/ideas/95) and SVG rendering performance seems to be actually better than in Inkscape - especially when transforming many objects simultaneously and when manipulating objects with filters applied.
Igalia has made some massive improvements to the SVG engine in WebKit recently: https://wpewebkit.org/blog/05-new-svg-engine.html https://wpewebkit.org/blog/05-new-svg-engine.html
- rtpg 3y agoYou’re being downvoted but honestly Inkscape suffers a bit when put up against some nastier SVGs. Chrome handles them alright though
- inferiorhuman 3y agoGranted I've not checked recently, I want to say this was pre-Blink, but Safari (iOS and OSX) struggled massively with SVGs that Firefox and Chrome handled with ease – maps in my case. If we're at the point where Safari is finally faster than Inkscape that's great news, although I still don't want a browser based utility.
- TingPing 3y agoThe new SVG renderer in WebKit makes it the fastest of the 3. Not yet finished though.
- dsego 3y agoThank you for building Boxy SVG, it's a wonderful tool, very fast and easy to use.
