Skia: an open source 2D graphics library

Skia is also used by Firefox on some platforms (I think Linux/X11 and Android?) as its graphics backend.

But not with Webrender that's coming in Firefox 59 I suppose?

WebRender is not even enabled by default in Nightly yet. It’ll still be a while before it’s ready for production—definitely not Firefox 59. I don’t know of any schedule, but I haven’t been following it much either.

But yes, the Quantum Render project is all about making WebRender Firefox’s primary graphics backend.

Somehow I remember it was supposed to be Firefox 59, not sure where I saw it now. Of course it can slip if it's not ready.

I believe the target was Firefox 59, but they didn't make it.
