Thanks for reporting! Since the bug report seems to be filed from macOS and Chromium is affected as well, I assume this was reported for Skia.

The current implementation uses SkGradientShader::MakeSweep method of the Skia library:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/7fba7adfcd695343236de0c12e8d384c9b7cd237/gfx/2d/DrawTargetSkia.cpp#531

similar to what Chromium does:
https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/c20d681c9c067c4e15bb1408f17114b9e8cba294/third_party/blink/renderer/platform/graphics/gradient.cc#L327

This needs to be fixed upstream.

I haven't checked if this affects WebRender though.

It seems like the Chromium bug has been closed even though I see the same blurry rendering on Chromium.

Thanks for finding the bug report!

Looks like this will be solved once Skia fixes it and we update the skia dependency.

Priority: -- → P3

Because this bug's Severity has not been changed from the default since it was filed, and it's Priority is P3 (Backlog,) indicating it has been triaged, the bug's Severity is being updated to S3 (normal.)

Severity: normal → S3

Nowadays, we have the opposite issue: webrender does not anti-alias hard gradient stops so they are pixelated. We don't use skia to render css gradients anymore except in a few rare exceptions so I'll close this.
