    Browser rendering engine feel: Webkit (Safari), Blink (Chrome) or Gecko (Firefox)?

    Which browser engine “paints” the smartest on my device? In the clip below; Surf substitutes for Safari and Chromium for Chrome. My blog is the testee since there’s guaranteed cache control and jitter.

    Webkit (Safari/Surf/+) > Blink (Chromium/Chrome/+) > Gecko (Firefox/IceCat/+)

    Surf and by extension Safari (or any Webkit–based browser) wins . Webkit feels smooth (sneakily, too smooth). It’s probably partly why Safari on macOS/iOS feels so fast. Chrome (not Chromium) is almost on par or so I’ve been told. Not exactly web dev but interesting huh?

    Hugo is a gateway for discovering neat golang libraries. Version 0.104.0 introduced a color extraction method that has lots of use–cases. An easy one is to generate basic image gradient placeholders. The browser has its own deferred/lazy loading logic so fancy image gradients (on a static site) require only a few lines of pre–generated styles.

    Easier to show in Chromium compared to Firefox (a tad too fast/clever to capture)

    Kiwi Browser (download) is a Chromium derivative on Android that can directly expose the built–in dev tools on device. Remote debugging is my preference, but it makes quick web development a complete disaster debugging on Chrome for Android just a touch easier.

    Browsers are on a slow march towards fully adopting user options for standardized/algorithmic color stylesheets. Great debates over what color to paint the bike shed (website) will eventually end. Paint it (mostly) whatever color you want.

    In addition to the invert filter, another way of quickly bootstrapping a dark mode stylesheet is to use Chromium’s auto dark mode emulation as an initial reference.
