		ncmncm on May 21, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Graphics Team ships WebRender MVP Here's hoping it is easy to switch off. Firefox has become extremely crashy, running under Qubes, where the GPU is forbidden, despite my turning off attempts at shader use everywhere I can find. E.g., even turning off "smooth scrolling" made a substantial difference. But it still crashes, even just loading a DDG search results page. Advice welcome. (No, abandoning Qubes is not an option.)
