This is the best entry-level introduction I have ever seen. Thank you.

That was the perfect level detail for every stage in order to give me good understanding of the whole workflow. Thanks for making it. I feel very inspired and want to Like the video more than once!

This is the best video I've found about Chrome rendering.

Informative videos such as this deserve much more views and comments

Guys, there's 2019 version of "Chrome University" that has way more views and as a result pops up higher in search over newer version. I think you should add links to newer versions on old videos. These presentations are amazing and it's a shame that so little effort is made to actually get them to people who would be interested! People pay quite a lot of money for courses with content of lesser quality. I don't think that 500 views is about lack of interest, it's about not being able to find these videos. Big thanks for the talks!

Well done my friend, this is a fantastic tech talk!

[berbudy]

This is what I have been looking for thanks

Niles Crane explains the rasterisation pipeline.

I have been coding a long time in JS, and i hate DOM but by this video it's so fun.

In 6:52, you talked about creating a web page to inspect flow from network to raw opengl calls. Can I have this web page? And how to inspect this flow such like a web developer - none google developers?

39:59 Why we need `DrawQuad` of a Tile since we already have the rastered bitmap of that Tile in the GPU memory?

How i can inspect results made by style/layout, ... phase when using chrome devtools? For example, I wanna know contents of my webpage transformed fragment tree...

Is there an equivalent talk somewhere else, like this, that shows how both X and Wayland work on Linux?

I didn't quite get a lot of it, but loved it nevertheless! Now react seems like a kids play
