loads fast enough, looks clean enough...
*checks ublock*
requests blocked on this page: 56 or 40%
Geez...
EDIT: Tried it without, OMG! From 3secs with ublock to over 1min and impossible to scroll without. Whoever made that site should be fired...

Re: Mozilla's Quantum Project - Replacing Gecko with servo
FWIW, one of the major components, Stylo (the Rust-based CSS engine) is already quite far along, and shows some impressive numbers. I believe that has been in development for around a year at this point (it has its own integration tree and everything). Quantum DOM is a more recent project, I wouldn't expect that to be done for a while yet. WebRender has some very exciting numbers in Servo, but I don't know how feature complete it is (when I first heard about it, I think it was all written in OpenGl, which probably isn't going to fly on Windows - and I have no idea whether it supported things like subpixel anti-aliasing on text).sabret00the wrote:The reality is though, that Mozilla is really bad at delivering things let alone in a timely manner. I hope they manage to knock this out of the park, there needs to be something that they can achieve.

Not sure if I'm reading some of these meta bugs correctly. It seems that this plan has been in progress for a while now.

YEs. specially the Out-of-process compositor and Stylo integration have been in progress for a year now.
They have just announced it, and given it a fancy name.

Re: Mozilla's Quantum Project - Replacing Gecko with servo
Does this have any Rust code, or is it just about moving the GPU stuff to a separate process?

Why is this only for Windows users? What about Mac, Linux and Android?mayankleoboy1 wrote:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1314133 , and its been fixed resolved.

Couldn't find anything on it either, but I enabled it on Fedora 25 and haven't experienced any problems so far:sabret00the wrote:Why is this only for Windows users? What about Mac, Linux and Android?

New GPU process is interesting - if you kill it it seems to reload the page in the main process again - it doesn't make a new GPU process.

What is the GPU process called? plugin-host.exe or similar?
