Firefox 71 Landing Wayland DMA-BUF Textures Support

I wonder why does Chromium not support Wayland officially....
I do remember that Intel (I think it is on 01.org) have done a bunch of work towards getting Ozone (their ui lib?) to support wayland. Not entirely sure where that work got to though
It's funny. Firefox, and Chrome, use the GPU more and more for the internet browsing, but on Linux they do not use the GPU for the video decoding, one of the most important thing in the internet world. Maybe their programmers are not good enough and do not know how to do it. Please, can someone help them? It's funny.

No, you know what is funny, that you complain about something you clearly do not understand. The wayland dmabuf support is a requirement for video decoding to avoid having to avoid unnecessary copying of data to and from the GPU. So you are complaining about them actually getting closer to the thing you want.
GPU-assisted decoding is preferable when it results in smaller system power consumption compared to CPU-only video decoding
You mean, like, always? Dedicated HW is of course more power efficient. That's the point. What were you trying to say?
I can watch 1080p youtube video, yes, but not without burning so much more watts than necessary. This is such a shame to contribute to climate warming. I guess that, collectively, linux users on youtube burn Gigawatts/H every day for no real reason other than "we have to focus our efforts on windows and the videos are playing on today's CPUs anyways"
