This is bullshit.

For example, I tried the demo and saw how the pages jumped to the nearest page if I middle click and pulled down to go half way. Corner cases or anything more complicated than simple wheel flips often don't seem to work if you hack your own solution. Now the browser seems to have a much better idea of what's going on. So.. That's nice. We'll get hijacks but at least they seem to be much more robust? But at the same time I hope this won't make more designers hijack scrolling or go overboard with this. :\

I only recently discovered that Unicode characters can now have colour in them, and frankly, I'm disappointed that we're adding complexity to an already hugely complex topic.
No, fonts can have colour in them. This isn't a new thing, colour fonts have been around for decades. However, they're particularly useful for emoji.

This is bullshit.
But the billions of people who aren't white might have a problem with it.

#28Also has anyone else noticed that Firefox is no longer keeping the page state when navigating back? For example on Reddit go to the comments section, minimize a few comments then navigate to a link then go back and none of the minimized comments remain minimized, in Firefox prior to 38 things worked correctly.

#29How 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.
For what it's worth, I've just updated on OS X and scrolling feels just as janky as ever.

This is bullshit.
How so? If you're white, perhaps you see no problem with making everyone's skin white. But the billions of people who aren't white might have a problem with it.
