So we started shipping WebRender in Firefox a few weeks ago. Completely new rendering engine written in rust, big departure from how we approached rendering before. We are gradually enabling it for different hardware/OS configurations and a couple of million users have it now.

What's kind of blowing my mind, having worked on 3 large-ish rewrites, is that since WebRender shipped, telemetry has reported less crashes per user with WebRender than without.

This is *not* how big rewrites usually go.

yeah, the drama happens on-site. nobody here is happy about it. but we're still having a good time and we're still raising a lot of money for MSF. it turns out the event is NOT, in fact, entirely defined by shitty things people do and the peanut gallery's perception of it.
