First of all, just extrapolating from someone's side/hobby/demo project to all WebGL pages is naive. The effort put into a demo is orders of magnitude less than a real site. Second, "GPU-enabled JavaScript" has alr

Try the "desynchronized" canvas attribute[1]. It should lead to a noticeable latency improvement on ChromeOS and Windows. [1] https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2019/05/desynchron...

As a Chromium developer speaking based on my observations, we're also responsive to fixing bugs that affect a small percentage of sites. The difference is prioritization, and whether we'll merge fixes back to stable branches for

Chromium recently crossed a million bugs. And if you count Chromium and Blink together (they're in one repository for quite some time now), it's probably over a million commits too.

No, because Microsoft does things like this: "For about eight days, some versions of Windows 10 quietly bundled a password manager that contained a critical vulnerability in its browser plug in, a researcher said Friday. The flaw was a

Chromium will continue using link.exe as the linker even after migrating to clang-cl. See the bottom of the email that's linked.

From what I gather, it's about GLX support in Xwayland. Most general purpose applications won't be affected* but games would be. * The big exception is Chrome which uses GLX for accelerated rendering. The software fallback path us

I had a similar discussion with a colleague a few weeks ago. They were double counting latency in different pipeline stages when a delay in one stage causes high latency in the other stage. My analysis would be something like this (assuming

I work on Chromium and I test every VS Code version to see how it performs with the Chromium source code (except third_party). This is the first time I'm impressed. My observations: 1. Go to file is a little bit slower than Sublime Tex

In Chrome you can press "Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D" and bookmark all open tabs into a folder. Then you can right click on the folder later to open all those tabs.

You can use FB messenger even after deactivating your FB account. But there are still things that can cause you to reactivate your account e.g. accessing two factor settings.

There are two modes for X11 under Crouton: GPU accelerated output (called "xorg" mode) and unaccelerated output to a chrome window (called "xiwi" mode). Both seem to work fine based on my limited testing with Gnome on De

Ah, yes the UI was upstreamed only recently. However it was possible to build Chromium on Android either as "content_shell" (minimalistic UI on top of Chromium) or as WebView.

I find the browser complaint funny because they've moved to Chrome which even has an open development model[1] (Android does not). Chrome is also used for the WebView implementation starting in KitKat[2] (made updateable via Play Store

Both sync[1] and cast[2] are present in Chromium. If you're referring to the recent fiasco about cast not working in Chromium, that was a bug in M54. And guess what, it wasn't working in Chrome either! I'd encourage you to re

IMO Google is in a better position to deal with ffmpeg security updates than Debian is. Google is spending a lot of effort into fuzz testing ffmpeg[1] and other components of Chrome and also rolls out updates very quickly. I'd expect t

That's because it's not a Chromium bug. You should file feedback with the product you're using, most (all?) Google products have a way of doing this.

Why do you say that it's not easy to contribute to Chromium? Also the "last truly open-source" browser is hyperbolic given that Chromium is both open-source and is also developed in the open[1][2][3]. If anything over the pas
