Expect Firefox to demand a potent GPU just to load soon enough, thanks to GTK3...
- swiley 9y agoIsn't the current version of firefox GTK3? I run it on my laptop with just the EFI framebufer and while it's /the/ most sluggish app installed it's still usable.
- digi_owl 9y agoIt is, and it may work for now. But as i become familiar with the mentality of the GTK devs i worry how long that will be an option.
- TingPing 9y agoGtk3 literally uses the exact same rendering API as Gtk2, Cairo, which is accelerated by your Xorg driver the same as it has been for decades. None of this even matters because Firefox isn't a traditional application and renders most thing itself using Skia.
