This AdBlock issue worries me specifically. And the fact that there's
breakage with our #1 add-on makes me worry in general.
Without special support, addons won't see content in the remote
thumbnail processes since they don't have access to the DOM there. We
have been working on making Adblock and other addons work in other
processes, but the code isn't ready to ship.
In general, I don't see us resolving e10s issues until we have some
incentive to do so, and get some sense of their relative severity.
Huh? This sentence seems entirely antithetical to our standard
operating procedure. I.e. backing out known regressions, etc.
As far as I know, the only strict backout policy we have is for
performance regressions on certain commonly accepted benchmarks. It
would be impractical to backout any change that causes a regression in
anything.
I think decisions about the thumbnail code should be made on the merits
of that code alone. Personally I think that the benefits of generating
the thumbnails off the main thread outweigh the loss of ad blocking in
the thumbnails.
