Firefox have finally replaced their renderer. The new one is called Servo and it's written in rust. I'm using it now and it feels as fast as chrome, finally. a couple of the fonts look a bit fucky here and there but generally everything seems to be working perfectly

i'm hype as hell to finally escape from google's browser

confirmed. latest Firefox is fast

it's mostly still gecko but they've got stylo and a few other bits of servo integrated

later this year they're adding webrender2 (gpu page renderer) w/ pathfinder (worlds fastest font rasteriser) which will be amazing

parallel layout goes in next year

oh ok, i skimmed the release notes and assumed they'd replaced it.

the important thing is it no longer feels like a sluggish piece of poo poo

i dunno why but i can't upload to imgur using firefox anymore... maybe it's something to do with disconnect and u-block origin?

the new Firefox devtools have some potential, except for the part where half of them are still broken and the other half are pretty buggy

still better than the old devtools, tho

gotta give mozilla credit; firefox has been improving fast since they realized that nobody was going to use their lovely me-too phone os and gave up on it

Yes please stop trolling trying to trick people into using Firefox, it's gone down an inescapable event horizon of suck and i refuse to believe it can ever be "good"
