-moz-element support landed in tonight's nightly, it allows you to use another element in the document as an image source (e.g. a slide show presentation can show real time updating thumbnails of the slides)

It's mainly going to be used in the OS X theme for rendering Persona's, but web content can also use it (WebKit has supported something similar for a few years now, but much more limited)

Sounds interesting. Do you know the syntax? Google has little info on it.

<img id="img" src="blah.png" width="128" height="128">
<div style="width: 128px; height: 128px; background-image: -moz-element(#img);"> </div>

Simple (and stupid) example, but that's basically how you use it (it updates at the same time as the source element draws, so <video> and <canvas> is still fast, etc.)

Edit: That + SVG Filters is what the OS X theme will use, a filter to darken the persona image behind the tab bar, and possibly a Aero Glass like blur for behind the toolbar buttons.

Get ready to see about 50~100ms (depending on system) boost in SunSpider tests with today's nightly! (If curious , check the hourlies)

sweet, there wasn't much improvement in beta3, was hoping firefox would close the large gap with the other browser vendors. Will benchmark beta 4:)

Very cool, thanks for the info. Seems really useful because it uses a live preview of that element.

It is pretty cool, it can really slow down the browser though if you do it incorrectly (Like pointing it at the <html> element as the source, it uses 100% of the CPU core then)

Also, D2D bounced (i.e. it landed, but was backed out), so it's disabled by default again (but not in the current nightly)

I tried a nightly out with the same result, but anyone know why Firefox and Flash don't seem to be getting on in the Beta 3?

And when clicking the fast reply box does it not work till you click a second time for anyone else?

I have issues with flash too, when I play a video and scroll up or down, I can't acces the seekbar and other buttons until I scroll to the initial position (all betas).

Directwrite is still significantly delaying startup of firefox even in the latest nightly (I open firefox and everything in the window is white for like 30 secs and its unresponsive)

I am also having these issues.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.168

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
