This is the one which has the greatest chance of giving people a headache. For instance, one of the biggest banks here still uses only RC4 for its online banking site. Its top-level hostname and a few of its auxiliary hostnames are on the whitelist, but there's no guarantee that all the RC4-only auxiliary hostnames it might use for some of its functionality are on the whitelist.
Surprised by the inclusion of "CSS Scroll Snap Points": https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/scroll-snap... It basically allows to do scroll hijacking [1] without any JavaScript, just like this: http://blog.gospodarets.com/demos/scroll-snap-full-screen/ [1]: http://trentwalton.com/2013/10/23/scroll-hijacking/

How much does Project Silk improves scrolling performance? Can you "feel" it? Scrolling/motion performance is the only thing that is keeping me away from FF at the moment - Even dev tools are getting amazingly good.
The increased smoothness of the inertial model probably indicates that chrome's scrolling is actually better, repaints more closely aligned to vsync or whatever, but like I say there are no actual artifacts, tearing etc. visible on my macbook retina. If you've got a top of the line 120fps gaming monitor its probably more noticeable.
That fancy lcd-testing website probably has some way of measuring it.
For me the big issue is the lack of visual feedback when swiping left and right to go back and forward. In chrome/safari you get a big sliding animation to tell you you're triggering the gesture correctly. In FF you just get an arrow after the gesture has been triggered, when its just annoying visual clutter. This means it still sometimes takes me multiple attempts to hit it, because I don't have that feedback during the gesture to cement the muscle memory.
EDIT: apparently chrome gives you the arrow, ff gives you absolutely nothing.

For what it's worth, I've just updated on OS X and scrolling feels just as janky as ever.

Personally I think CSS is "style hijacking" — the Web really is about the text, not the colors.
Chrome still hasn't fixed it. Color me unimpressed.

I love that the Fetch API is happening (has happened!): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API fetch(url).then(data => ...) Not earth-shattering, but much more fun than XHR!
