Ah... I was here wondering why browsers don't just run sites in a built-in virtual containers..allowing the same reports of the same hardware for everyone. especially for WebGL and canvas fingerprinting.
I suppose someone might say it is about performance of going through a virtual layer? I understandit might break specialized 3D web-apps...but for common web-browsing? idk. Do people regularly use web-based app that need direct access to a GPU to be fast and functional? But surely, an exceptions list could work.
I am sure I am missing something, but what?
- socalgal2 1y agopeople regularly use Google Maps and video conferencing apps (Zoom, Meet, FB Messenger, ...) all of which use the GPU. Maps to be able to customize the map based on what your point of interest is. VC apps to do background blur, addons, etc...
- SubiculumCode 1y agoBUt can the gpu not be virtualized?
