Have you enabled WebRender in Firefox? It's GPU accelerated and written in Rust. Faster? Smoother? What's your experience with it?

used it for years, were some minor glitches in the beginning but working fine now
>Rust
>Faster?
Not a chance.
Yes it's way faster and why I switched from chrome
export MOZ_ACCELERATED=1
export MOZ_WEBRENDER=1
in .bashrc
I can't see any difference.
Still does NOT display content properly, buggy as fuck. And people wonder why it's disabled by default. It had good run, until someone fucked up (I'll let this one as an exercise for the reader).
this is the most retarded answer i've seen this week
I'm not really sure. I tried using it but I didn't notice any big difference. Maybe some benchmarks would help.
My hardware is probably too old to benefit from it too. I'm using a laptop with a sandy bridge i5 3317u and its hd graphics 4000. I have a dedicated gpu but it never really worked and when it did, temps always skyrocketed.

post yours
why Is it so shit on linux? I get 8-9 fps on my desktop Arch and 15 I think on work laptop with windows
which settings enable it?
damn, I've got ~12fps in Firefox and ~102 in Chromium. I'd rather use Firefox but this makes it hard.
Avg. 27 fps | Max. 30 fps | Min. 23 fps
With FF67.0b10 and WebRender enabled.
windows or lignux?
Linux
~25 when enabled and disabled. Makes me think the option does nothing.
Chromium 73.0.3683.86 performs slightly better (again on Linux). Somewhere around 40 fps with some spikes going as high as 55 fps and as low as 18 fps.
Check out browserbench.org
It should show the difference quiet clearly.
it's not yet in stable I think
I got this with my 6-year old machine with it turned on. I didn't see any glitching but is this crap or what
Nice, with that setting enabled Firefox performs 299 against Chrome's 293
Firefox stronk
wat
can you post hardware, OS and firefox version?
Left is disabled, right is enabled.
I have Nightly with a bunch of addons, a custom user.js based on the ghacks one, I didn't make a new profile to test or anything of the sort.
Still, the difference is big. I'd better leave that off.
Specs are
i7 4990k+ 970 GTX
Windows 10 1809
1920x1080
Firefox 66.0.3 x64
Chrome 73.0.3683.103
Without the flag it was 290
*4790k
Still slow and buggy as shit like firefox has always been since version 2.0 and will always be. Totally unusable unless all you do is browse Jow Forums.
Weird. It improves the performance quite a bit for me, with the exception of Motionmark 1.1's Multiply, which seems broken with a score of 1.0 +/- 600%.
Specs:
Fedora 29 (Linux 5.0.6)
Ryzen 7 2700x + GTX 1070
Firefox 67.0b10:
All results for a large screen
Tested with a vanilla profile
Motionmark 1.0 405.97 +/- 1.29% (Webrender enabled) | 172.23 +/- 12.44% (Webrender disabled)
Motionmark 1.1 228.82 +/- 25.60% (Webrender enabled) | 103.18 +/- 14.89% (Webrender disabled)
Also does anyone else get terrible results with Chromium on Linux? Not only the value, but the uncertainty as well. I just can't achieve a rel. uncertainty below 50%. That's insane.
Chromium 73.0.3683.86:
Motionmark 1.0 57.41 +/- 69.83% (first try) | 28.84 +/- 50.72% (smallest rel. uncertainty after 5 tries)
Motionmark 1.1 48.81 +/- 52.78% (first try) | 38.83 +/- 50.30% (smallest rel. uncertainty after 5 tries)

it's the other way around
It's about time something like this is created.
It's astonishing how complex 3d program can compute all these insane effects in those huge 3d environments in 60FPS, yet browsers struggle as soon as you add some gradients, drop-shadows and heavens beware, a blur.
Software rendering is shit.
>48 with default settings.
>68 with gfx.webrender.enabled set to true.
>131 with gfx.webrender.all set to true as well.
Using stable version, bretty good improvement.
Rust is newer than c++ you retarded nigger
So? C++ got pushed into that category when Rust came out.
Got 103 with webrender.enable to false.
i5 6300HQ + 960M on Winblows Tan.
holy dicks - I had terrible screen tearing on i3wm with smooth scrolling before enabling it.
fkn nice
Rust was only made because Mozilla drove away all of its competent programmers by creating a language too easy for them to be able to use
big improvement for me too
