:gregp I don't know when you're planning to land a patch for this. If it's very soon, do you mind waiting by the end of the month so I can test something? There was an issue with the Firefox implementation and Element (See links below). It's supposed to have been resolved for a while now but I just want to make sure the current implementation doesn't have any issue that we missed and could potential break Element especially that we use it daily.

My understanding is that Gecko has a complete OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D implementation (including text/filters/etc).

Andrew, is this accurate?

Yes, this is fine to remove.
