Using hardware-accelerated video decode in your web browser should result in using less CPU usage (and thus, less battery draining) when playing online videos. This article explains how to enable hardware-accelerated video decoding in Google Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi and Opera web browsers running on Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS or Linux Mint (Xorg only). Google Chrome is not the only Chromium-based web browser to support hardware acceleration on Linux though. Are you guys really modifying the code on the C/C++ side that much that this is out of the question? At least, announce that you're working on it or something.Google Chrome 88 (and newer) has made hardware accelerated video decoding available on Linux, but it's not enabled by default. It's built on top of Chromium isn't it? Is there really Windows specific stuff that can't be ported over? I know cpu and memory are handled a little differently, but if you're working within the Chromium framework already and Chromium works on Linux (and most of the non-core OS stuff is going to be javascript anyway), I feel like it shouldn't be that hard since Chromium already runs on Linux.
More software really needs to support Linux and I don't mean just Ubuntu, or RedHat either.Ĭome on Opera, make this happen. I, like the op, find it highly upsetting that Linux users are left out to test, help develop, and provide feedback on features for the browser. But I completely agree! I use Linux (Manjaro) at work as my primary OS, and I recently came across a news article referencing the buying of Yoyo games by Opera and Opera GX and so I played around with Opera GX a bit over the weekend and I really liked it. I hate to bump an older thread (but rather than create another thread for the same thing, I thought it would make sense to reply to this one.
