I don't know the current status of web browsers, ut hardware encoding and decoding for image formats is alive and well. Not really relevant for showing a 32x32 GIF arrow like on HN, but very important when browsing high resolution images with any kind of smoothness.
If you don't really care about your users' battery life you can opt to disable hardware acceleration within your applications, but it's usually enabled by default, and for good reason.
- lonjil 3y agoHardware acceleration of image decoding is very uncommon in most consumer applications.
- kasabali 3y ago> hardware encoding and decoding for image formats is alive and well I keep hearing and hearing this but nobody has ever yet provided a concrete real world example of smart phones using hw decoding for displaying images.
