Skia is now the default on firefox/windows when direct2d isn't available. http://techdows.com/2016/10/firefox-52-skia-enabled-by-defau... What does that actually means in practice? I'm guessing the only time you actually get skia is when running in a pretty old hypervisor environment or on a server/BMC without hardware acceleration. Which IMHO, having your application _LOOK_ different depending on hardware acceleration capabilities is sorta stupid. |

Which is one of the reasons I transitioned from liking Web back into loving native development (there are plenty of other reasons though).
Doing discussions with customers about pixel differences across browsers, specially if it is the same browser on different OSes, is anything but fun.
That and the request for features and behaviors only possible in native UIs.
