[Omega X]

It's not like they have a choice. Either WebRender meets the release criteria with AMD GPUs or it doesn't. Everybody else can activate it at their own risk.

Staged rollouts aren't uncommon. Every major browser engine has workarounds and partially activated features for different graphics hardware and operating systems.

And it's not like WebRender is an absolute improvement in every way right now. I think it's a future oriented development that is necessary for coming use cases like VR, even more high dpi displays with higher refresh rates.

I meant that AMD users will pester them to make it happen at roughly the same time (its happen before). I'm aware of stage rollouts, I've been doing this for a decade+ now.

Of course its still in development, however Webrender improved massively in one month's time. You underestimate their ability to put this together. The only other team better at getting things done is the JS Team and its been that way since Fx3.

[Lurtz]

Maybe I'm underestimating them I'm just thinking about how long it took for e10s to land for everybody...

[Omega X]

E10s was different. It transformed the core internals of how everything happened in Gecko. It touched nearly every component and technically it still isn't where they want it to be.

[mayankleoboy1]

The only other team better at getting things done is the JS Team and its been that way since Fx3.

One of the mozilla devs once said that this is because the JS engine has the highest density of developers than any other part of the engine.

[Lurtz]

No Nightly builds happening today?

[smsmith]

I just updated. Not sure how long the update was waiting for me.
