Performance

GFX

JS

Layout

  • font size inflation (bug 627842, readability) fighting with Android crashtest-1 failure (failing with no useful information in the log). Can land once that's fixed. Once it lands it'll probably need tuning related to feedback on how it behaves on different individual Web pages.

  • Landed HTML support for XHR (hsivonen)

WebAPI
