Brave will not add Web Integration support

I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

I'm an avid YouTube watcher on Firefox. What does HDR and RTX Video Super Resolution do?
HDR is High Dynamic Range. Makes your monitor more colorful and realistic, closer to what you see in real life. Bright scenes are brighter, colors are more vibrant and accurate (for example, you can actually see teal properly with an HDR monitor, which normal monitors can't display accurately). Requires a compatible monitor. You would know if you had one cause most people don't spend extra money on a display unless they know/care about this feature.
RTX Video Super Resolution uses AI to sharpen and upscale lower resolution video. It's useful for watching 1080p videos on a 4K monitor. Or for watching 720p videos at 1080-quality because your internet sucks and can't handle 1080p. Requires an Nvidia RTX graphics card (again, you would know if you had one cause they're expensive and meant for PC gamers).
Basically I'm complaining about features that only enthusiasts care about, but Chrome supports them so why not Firefox too?
Sounds pretty cool! Why is this done at browser level and not at window manager level?
Beats me. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ That is a good point. Why isn't this shit done at the window manager level? Fucking Microsoft. Wish I could switch to Linux but it doesn't even support HDR at all.
That'd explain why I had had never heard about it, lol. Hopefully the Wayland folks are working on it.
Recent Windows 10 and Windows 11 support auto HDR, You can enable HDR in the display settings, and it works for pretty much everything. I've never noticed that Firefox lacks native HDR support, because Windows does compensate. The only time it doesn't is when older games use exclusive fullscreen mode, and then auto-HDR still works as long as I tell them to run in a window and use borderless windowed mode.
