- witnesser2 4y agoBased on my previous knowledge, text, UI controls, video frames all have to go through the render pipeline. Should be no exception. This is community talk, just fyi.
- ColonelPhantom 4y agoVideo acceleration and rendering acceleration are both mainstream. On Chrome, open chrome://gpu which will tell you various things about its use of your GPU. I'm not aware of an equivalent page for Firefox but opening about:support should somewhere inform you of the compositor, which when it says "WebRender" also makes use of your GPU.
