I mean how many Firefox users can even use this? Requires new gpu including compatible monitor.
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.
I don’t get the hate.

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.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Nvidia’s history
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
True. That is a good argument
You think only 10 people have an RTX GPU?
Also super resolution and HDR are separate checkboxes.

Obviously I was exaggerating. But maybe only 10 people have an rtx, use Firefox, and even want to use the feature.
Well Nvidia is the biggest Graphic card manufacturer by far so it’s quite likely that any individual Firefox user has an RTX card.
I do too, but unfortunately it’s an old RTX card which doesn’t support this feature (if I recall correctly anyways)
It supports all RTX cards.

That’s nice. Support for my card (2080ti) seems to have been added last October.
Well, you’ve pointed out one of the issues. Was it really worth dedicating an engineer’s limited time to?
