I am still a little sceptical of WebRender. Not for its theory or implementation, but relying on Graphics Drivers and GPU to do the work continue to be a pain. There are lots of Laptop with Graphics Drivers that doesn't ever get updated.


WebRender doesn't actually necessitate a GPU backend. You could have a CPU backend just as well.

(In fact, I might up being the one writing it.) ;)

Wow to me this is big news! I have long wanted the GFX part to be CPU backend instead of the trend of Hardware Acceleration on GPU.

Cant wait to see the results.
