As much as I hate Flash technically (already removed it), I'm still a bit emotional when I remember what was a real era of the web. I had a lot of fun with Flash games during my teen years (they are still playable with Flashpoint, but that nonetheless makes them part of history, and me old).

They both support WebGL without readback[1], thus having much better WebGL performance, and partial damage. As they are both expected to ship over next few releases, it would be great to see what we can expect from it

This might be the commit that enabled WebRender on some configs -https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commit/512e2df326f2b8ff6c7b854d122320c2965d99c6#diff-dfce01d29a8b57622fabea157244dacf65b6ce4b9b61960d9e 75f75a3c0567c3
