GeckoView is a wrapper around Gecko to make it easy to embed it into applications. I heard it's API is similar to WebView, but it's not a complete drop-in replacement.

You can already enable WebRender on Firefox Preview (Fenix). It renders pages allot faster but scrolling feels more sluggish.

If you want to know for sure if Webrender is enabled you can go to about:config and check the Graphics section. If Compositing is 'Webrender' it's turned on.

Firefox, like any other browser on iOS, is based on webkit because Apple doesn't allow other engines. That's why you don't have 'about:config' there.

Webrender (the new renderer maxyme was talking about) will move to gfx-rs later on [1]. That allows the renderer to run on Vulkan, DirectX 11 and 12, Metal and OpenGL. [1] https://github.com/servo/webrender/issues&

It only works in Firefox Nightly. The flag exists in Beta and Stable, but since Stylo isn't compiled with these versions the flag doesn't actually do anything.

Currently the server doesn't do collision checks with Players, so you wouldn't notice ghost blocks. It does make it allot easier for hackers though. What makes it a good alternative is that it's reasonably lightweight. We cur

Currently with Webrender enabled Firefox renders it both on Webrender and the old renderer which causes it to be really slow.

The flag exists in Firefox Developer Edition but it doesn't do anything yet. You have to be on Nightly for it to have an actual effect: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/6p9s24/psa_you_can_tr...

It's not the entire layout engine that changes. They only switch to the CSS Style system of Servo: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/6p9s24/psa_you_can_tr... It's still pretty cool though

I'd argue that Gecko is a real WebKit alternative. It has improved quite dramatically lately, have you tried Firefox Nightly?
