Blink is open source. Improving the browser is fully within your control and since browser automatically updates these optimizations will make it to your end users in a relatively short amount of time.
Would love to see a website that makes everything DiffsHub does without making any of the work necessary. Making it all obsolete would be a huge step forward for the web.

Also this works in all browsers, fixing blink doesn’t help move the web forward.
