1679577 - Disable Advanced Layers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, task)

Description

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

Advanced Layers is a large amount of code that duplicates the functionality of CompositorD3D11 (but is believed to be somewhat more performant).

Now that WebRender is shipping to a very large chunk of the users that previous had Advanced Layers, we think we can remove it to reduce our maintenance burden.

We want to remove this in the future, as it's a large amount of code and is being superceeded by WebRender.

Depends on D98091

We're unlikely to get around to fixing the bugs preventing this from riding the trains in the near future, so it'll be better to have Nightly be consistent with release (since it can hide bugs otherwise).

Depends on D98092
