> Kats is standing up WebRender in Firefox for Android

I'm guessing "standing" should be "setting"? Anyway, doesn't seem to work just yet for nightly. I enabled in about:config, but get "unavailable by runtime: WebRender not ready for use on non-e10s Android". Also, "WEBRENDER_QUALIFIED: blocked by env: Has battery"

I filtered by e10s and electrolysis in about:config but couldn't find anything

Standing up here means getting into a working but unfinished state. It’s a slightly uncommon turn of phrase, but it’s legit English.

Firefox has become crazy fast lately. Which is great! But on systems like a Surface tablet it seems to chew through battery much faster than Edge.

It seems to be pages that are actively modifying themselves. If they just sit there being static the power use isn't a problem.
