Quantum (software)

Quantum is the name of a new upcoming layout engine of Mozilla Firefox web browser that will replace Gecko in the late 2017.[1] It has several components adopted from Servo project,[2] another browser engine written in Rust.

As one performance strategy, Quantum will increase parallelization and GPU offloading as compared to Gecko.[2]
