SO DEMANDING posted:can someone please loving explain to me why web browsers need to have their own font rendering Probably because the OS is unaware of OpenType and advanced type features, the OS interface by default is not GPU accelerated which is why DirectText was born on Windows. Browsers are a mess themselves, Canvas doesn't support OpenType for example. Also, I render in JavaScript because of that.

i think it's good that firefox is made by a nonprofit but it's a pretty bad look when you're doing partnerships with hollywood tv shows vs like spending a few Ks to run boots-on-the-ground regular-person user trainings about computer privacy. i don't have the experience to say this ofc but mozilla could really build a genuine social movement if they care to

Doesn't every OS now for some time have highly developed font rendering engines? CoreText on Mac, DirectText on Windows, Inconsolata on Linux. Just use those.

my firefox has gotten a really good new feature: it has stopped loading the comments on youtube. but also it won't load channel pages without a reload, that's less good.
