    <thetext>Try comparing &lt;https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=409243&amp;action=diff&gt; against `409068 - Patch` or `408943 - Patch`.

I also often see &quot;Warning: this difference between two patches may show things in the wrong places due to a limitation in Bugzilla when comparing patches with different sets of files.&quot;, such as when comparing &lt;https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=409243&amp;action=diff&gt; against `409313 - Patch`.

I use the &quot;Diff&quot; link/tool to quickly/easily see what&apos;s changed between two patches so I can see just what&apos;s changed.  This is especially useful for larger patches as in those cases it can be even harder to pick out the differences.  When this tool doesn&apos;t work I&apos;m left to downloading the before and after patches, copying them as plain text, pasting them into a separate diff tool (e.g. &lt;https://www.diffchecker.com&gt;), and then looking at the results, which is far from an ideal/quick process :(</thetext>
