Firefox 68 Performance Is Looking Good With WebRender On Linux

[Weasel]

Haha, our favorite C troll again. Who doesn't know what it's talking about.

But facts are on my side bish. Firefox's C++ code is/was way worse than other browsers, precisely because they have rusted brains to even design Rust. They've always had it, but now they felt like making a language for their rusted brains...

An advanced rust developer

That's an oxymoron. Any advanced developer wouldn't use Rust after all.

You seem quite helpless.

Chrome always had and still has the fastest and most responsive engine. AFAIK it it written in C/C++. So there is no excuse for Firefox being slow. A different programming language won't change the fact that they need to write better code.

Chrome also has a few orders of magnitude more resources behind it (both, in terms of devs, and "monetary").

I can't get MotionMark to work in Firefox on Linux. It always hangs at some point (the animation remains still, although the browser itself is responsive). This happens even with WebRender disabled. Anyone else got this too?
