Sorry for the delay. We agree that scroll anchoring has unrealized potential to be valuable for the web at large, and to make that happen we should be investing a lot more working with y'all (and if we can't succeed, probably removing it from chromium). Concretely +Chris Harrelson who leads rendering for Chrome (and likely someone else from his team), as well as +Nick Burris from the Chrome input team will start digging in ASAP. In addition to just the normal high-bandwidth engineer-to-engineer collaboration between chromium and gecko I propose the following high-level goals for our work:
- Ensure that there are no known deviations in behavior between chromium and the spec (one way or the other). - Ensure all the (non-ua-specific) site compat constraints folks are hitting are captured in web-platform-tests. I.e. if Gecko passes the tests and serves a chromium UA string it should work as well as in Chrome (modulo other unrelated UA compat issues of course). - Look for any reasonable opportunity to help deal with UA-specific compat issues (i.e. those that show up on sites that are explicitly looking for a Gecko UA string or other engine-specific feature). This may include making changes in the spec / chromium implementation. This is probably the toughest one, but I'm optimistic that if we nail the first two, we can find some reasonable tradeoff for the hard parts that are left here. Philip (our overall interop lead) has volunteered to help out here as well. Does that sound about right? Any suggestions on the best forum for tight engineering collaboration? GitHub good enough, or maybe get on an IRC / slack channel together somewhere?
