The lowest hanging fruit, which is codec independent, is scaling of the output. What's the status of that?
I can tell that this is pretty significant, at least on my homemade ARM laptop, which has no acceleration whatsoever: it drops to 4 FPS once I fullscreen any video regardless of resolution.Last edited by andreano; 21 May 2019, 04:41 PM.

At this point, I hope they loose whatever funding from Google they still have so that only volunteers (or let's dream, people funded with RedHat money) are left coding. Maybe then Free Software users would be back as a priority target.
Plus, you can enable web render in the preferences right now if you want. Hint: it doesn't make any difference.

Mozilla will always go where the money leads. Just ask them what it will take, I am sure they will tell you.

Mozilla is concentrating on where the majority of their user base is, which is on Microsoft Windows and Windows users mostly use either Intel or Nvidia GPU hardware because that's what the OEMs put in desktop and laptop (Optimus) products. It's mostly system builders that have AMD hardware because it's like pulling teeth to get not-low-end non-server hardware with AMD hardware from the OEMs. You can thank Intel's anti-competitive tactics for that along with several years worth of under-performing AMD CPUs.
