I work at a company that has been doing a webkit-based GPU accelerated renderer for more than 4 years and we have great results powering many games with <1ms render times for many cases. Webkit however has a lot of intrinsic architectural limitations that we spent a lot of time trying to overcome. Now we are writing a new HTML renderer from scratch and our results are promising: 5x-12x faster than anything WebKit/Blink based. You can hear more about how that was done at CppCon 2018 (https://cppcon2018.sched.com/event/FnKC/oop-is-dead-long-liv...). Also I would love to hear from people interested trying Electron-based apps with our tech.

We're releasing a major upgrade to Coherent UI that is already in Beta and that version is based on chromium 40+. All the new features are available - http://coherent-labs.com/news/a-major-update-of-coherent-ui-.... We try roll new versions every 2 weeks and update the chromium core when there are new significant features that we feel will benefit our users.

Hi, Stoyan from Coherent Labs here. My impressions of CEF are very good. They manage to keep it very close to the chromium HEAD, which is great. The only technical downside of CEF is the imperfect GPU acceleration. In many cases however the architecture of chromium itself is a hindrance. Their processes hog memory like crazy and introduce perceivable lag. We had to write a complete new product to solve the issue for games.
