Can we just say it? Reddit's redesigne has made it measurably less performant and harder to us. Nothing happens when u press a link for about half a second. They clearly switched to some kind of spa but I don't understand why.

It's why I usually use the old i.reddit.com

I mean if their crappy mobile site encourages you to switch to their annoying app, I guess they consider it mission accomplished?

We are working on making it default on more platforms, see https://arewewebrenderyet.com/

This doesn't work as HTTPS. http://arewewebrenderyet.com/

I have webrender testing enabled and three days ago I opened Firefox Nightly and the UI was completely wrecked due some unexpected WebRender bug that was fixed after updating. So I’m glad they’re testing it on expert users first :)

EDIT: Nope, I’m not one of the default-on “safe” configurations.

It's basically in testing, they might break on too many machines were it made default

I could be wrong, but AFAIK, webrender is the default on latest versions.

It is enabled by default for a small subset of system configurations (Windows desktop machines with AMD or NVIDIA GPU).

The matrix is more complicated.

In some configurations you have to set a config flag to enable it.

Hey, I think this site's audience is technical enough that it's okay to just give them the name of the option: about:config -> gfx.webrender.all -> true

Go to about:support and search for WebRender to check if it worked.

Works great for me with Kubuntu 19.10 / Mesa / AMD. It didn't work when I tried it a couple of months ago.

And only if you don't have a battery.
