pets Firefox …Who’s a good boy?

Firefox finally got HDR support, so now I have zero reason to use a Chromium-Based browser anymore. Kept Ungoogled Chromium around just for streaming video; uninstalled it yesterday.

Wait it did? When?

IDK but I just noticed it a few days ago when I was suddenly blinded by every video, lol (I turned on the setting in my GPU that converts SDR videos to HDR. It never worked in Firefox until just now).

There wasn't any h265 support until recent nightlies for windows.. so there is that issue. Which is important for watching movies ore even some NVR / Security cameras these days for anything 4K or higher.

I still love my Firefox since that doesn’t affect me. My videos are easily transcoded if needed and I keep to 1080p so size isn’t a real issue as well.

I guess for some, it can be problematic. So they’ll have to put up with ads again.

Or just use a chromium fork that allows ad block plugins...

Every day that passes it will be harder to maintain patches readding this. Who knows but it’s a lame solution.

Of course, people are quite free to do as they wish assuming they know how.

Edge has entered the chat. Have you tried Bing my son?
