I don’t think they thought this through.

Why not? They are one of the last browsers to add support, so I think they quite did?

One of the last browsers out of the two that exist (ignoring those that don't really develop any of those features themselves)?

What about Safari?

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Safari is also just one of the forks of the KHTML/WebKit/Blink codebase Chrome is based on. Admittedly they probably implement some of the stuff they do implement themselves too because the common ancestor version is quite a long time ago now.

They don't incorporate chromium changes in safari, so it should be considered separate.

I don't get the hate.

I mean how many Firefox users can even use this? Requires new gpu including compatible monitor.

And where is the usecase? Videos in browser? Those are usually chopped down anyway. Upscaling will not help there.

So it's a cool feature for the 10 people who can use it.

You think only 10 people have an RTX GPU?

Also super resolution and HDR are separate checkboxes.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 0 points 6 months ago

Obviously I was exaggerating. But maybe only 10 people have an rtx, use Firefox, and even want to use the feature.

Isn't that exactly why the hate?

Mozilla should focus on adding features everyone can use, not gimmicks from Nvidia that require you to buy their GPU and their approved monitors. Plus considering Nvidia's history with Linux which is a popular OS for Firefox...

AMD doesn't require that shit for, say, FreeSync or FSR.

True. That is a good argument
