Adding this functionality will be a substantial amount of work
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is this orthogonal to webrender?
(In reply to Ben Kelly [:bkelly] from comment #2) > Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is this orthogonal to webrender? It's actually somewhat oppositional to webrender, though we've had a vague plan to handle this somehow.
Here's some documentation about what Chrome does on Mac: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lNgxdWM6nrRKDrJ7QMG0jPBe_hTxGzS2s4OYJK7GB7U/edit#
And some information about the DirectComposite implementation https://codereview.chromium.org/2736643004

I'm moving this bug to WebRender because we probably won't bother to implement efficient layer-based scrolling, video or WebGL presentation for non-WebRender at this point. But we want all of this in WebRender.

Component: Graphics: Layers → Graphics: WebRender
Summary: Add support for overlay compositors → Add support for promoting parts of the WebRender scene to native layers
Performance Impact: --- → P3
Whiteboard: [gfx-noted][qf:p3] → [gfx-noted]

This happened!!
