Hey Hugh, I want to try this out on my GPU. Is there an easy way to benchmark performance in firefox? Alex. On 2019-10-04 12:26 p.m., D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk wrote:
By default, on Linux, Firefox does not use the GPU for rendering web pages. You can enable this by a setting in about:config gfx.webrender.all Change that from false to true
I don't actually know that much about the performance impact.
Apparently Mozilla leaves this off just to minimize support problems. It isn't that the Firefox code is buggy. There have been times where there were problems with some components the Linux graphics stack.
I'm trying this with my notebook now. Why? I learned about this by asking a Mozilla guy before a meeting and it was easier and quicker to change my browser setting than it was to write a note.
I'd love to hear any experience with this setting. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
