Mozilla Quantum: New Browser Engine Based On Servo/Rust For Firefox Mozilla's latest secret project to go public is Quantum, a new browser engine for Firefox. But before wondering what happened to Servo, don't worry, Quantum makes use of Servo and Rust.

Servo continues to be developed and Quantum is the project aiming to be a replacement to Gecko within Firefox. The hope is to transition to Quantum in mainline Firefox by the end of next year. The migration to the new engine is expected to be gradual over 2017 as Gecko gets gutted and replaced by Servo/Quantum code.

Quantum is Mozilla's project to build the next-generation web engine for Firefox users, building on the Gecko engine as a solid foundation. Quantum will leverage the fearless concurrency of Rust and high-performance components of Servo to bring more parallelization and GPU offloading to Firefox.

As the project evolves we'll be adopting more of Servo's components, and leveraging the research that helped build them, to make Firefox faster and more reliable than ever. Servo is a research project and doesn’t yet have all the functionality users expect from a full-featured web browser. By taking an incremental approach and merging proven components from Servo to Gecko as they are ready, users won't have to wait long to start seeing dramatic improvements to Firefox stability and performance. We're going to ship major improvements in 2017, and we'll iterate from there.

Limited details so far via the Quantum Wiki page. Some early work on Quantum is focused on Quantum CSS )Stylo), Quantum Render for next-gen renderer making use of GPU rendering (WebRender), Quantum Compositor as the GPU code that will run in its own process, Quantum DOM, and Quantum Flow.

게코(Gecko)대신 차세대 렌더링 엔진인 프로젝트 퀀텀(Project Quantum)으로 바꾼다는 내용인데 그로인해

페이지 로딩 속도 및 스크롤이 원활하고 동영상이나 응용 프로그램 응답 속도도 빨라지고. 또 일정 프레임 속도를 유지해 콘텐츠를 처리가능할거라고 말하는듯... 영어 울렁증이 심해서 구글 번역기로 돌리니 그런 내용이더라 카드라 뭐 그런거죠;;;
