Will this all finally get rid of the ripples when I scroll? :-(

its probably this running on WL.

and its made by the main guy for enlightenment.


Would love to see next firefox be EFL based.

EFL based firefox I would enjoy seeing. Might even consider using it over Chrome for once in it's lifetime.

I think in theory Wayland should be able to make that happen already on pretty much any desktop environment. Not sure if it can do it through the Xwayland compatibility layer but I haven't actually tried. I'm pretty sure a wayland native browser wouldn't make ripples, at least not as easily as in X. From the little time I spent with wayland my experience was snappy/responsive and tear free.

One of the main purposes of wayland was fixing such antiquated issues with X.
