wesleyhales.com: Adventures with the Skia Debugger

wesleyhales.com: Adventures with the Skia Debugger:


The Skia debugger was mentioned a few weeks ago at EdgeConf as a way to examine how the DOM is loaded and processed in the Chromium web browser. Skia is the open source C++ graphics library backing Chromium/Chrome. It comes with a graphical tool used to step through and analyze the contents of the skia picture format.
If you haven’t watched this video, I recommend you take a few minutes and watch the first part to understand the context of why the Skia debugger was mentioned and where it might be useful. For the impatient, there was a lot of talk around image decoding and scrolling. This morphed into a discussion about bounce rates and how scrolling really matters from an experience standpoint. Basically, if you’re scrolling sucks, users do a lot less and bounce quicker.
