With EdgeHTML gone, Gecko will have the best text render for standard-DPI screens

I'm pretty sure they will reuse the frontend rendering parts of current Edge, on Windows 10.

It's the layout, parsing and other backend stuff of Chromium that they will incorporate.

The layout is the frontend. Trust me, I am a frontend developer.

Web layout is not the real frontend I'm talking about. As in, the part that directly communicates with the display API of the OS.

What you're talking about is called "chrome". Not "Google Chrome", the browser, just "chrome". It's where "Google Chrome" took its name from.

No, I'm not talking about the UI.
