    Nice. For comparison, here is Mozilla's implementation in Rust, which is integrated into Firefox: https://github.com/mozilla/neqo

    There's a great series of posts going into more detail about Pernosco's design and advantages that is linked to in the final paragraph: https://pernos.co/about/

    On https://codetribute.mozilla.org/ you can find mentored Mozilla project bugs to work on (not just Firefox) indexed by language.

    Unfortunately for me, the fact that rr can't run on Ryzen CPUs is a dealbreaker. :( https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/2034

    There are minor benefits without ABP. For each page/iframe that is created, we can avoid running the CSS cascade (and share those data structures) for the UA style sheets. It's sav…

    Interesting that Firefox takes the decomposed Hangul and renders it as whole syllables, while Chrome shows them as the sequence of individual jamos. http://mcc.id.au/temp/hangul.pn…

    I just did some poking around, and it looks like uBlock does insert a couple of elements into the document. I'm not sure if this is how all style-based blocking is done in uBlock, …

    I can't see where on that page it talks about using style sheets. Last week I searched the µBlock sources for use of the nsIStyleSheetService, which is Gecko's internal interface f…

    µBlock does not use the same technique of creating a style sheet and inserting it into all loaded documents, so the type of sharing done as part of this work does not help µBlock.

    Browsers have a very limited set of properties that they allow in :visited rules, and display isn't one of them.

    As pornel pointed out, CSS Variables are really custom properties that cascade and inherit just like regular properties. Since "$" is used by CSS preprocessors for variables that w…

    Please note that the final syntax for CSS Variables changed recently, so in Firefox 31 and later, where the feature is enabled by default, you declare variables like this: :root { …
