I own an HDR screen to display HDR content *when and where I want it*. It has significant value in photography for example. But I certainly don’t want to be looking at hdr ads.
- DauntingPear7 2mo agoI witnessed my first HDR mobile game banner ads recently and it’s horrible and should honestly be illegal or something

- Grombobulous 2mo agoHow can we expect to give out a technical ability like HDR but then gatekeep it to only “artistically-valid” endeavors? Who is the arbiter of taste? Ultimately, you choose what websites you go to, just like people who create websites choose how to present them.
- Retr0id 2mo agoWe gave websites the ability to auto-play audio, then they showed they couldn't be trusted with this privilege and we took it away again. We can do the same with HDR images, gating them behind a "click to view", or "allow this site to display HDR content" (plausibly someone could do this with a browser extension already)
- Grombobulous 2mo agoI’d certainly be happy to see more controls in the browser side to help control this. I personally don’t consider this anywhere near as problematic as auto-play audio, but I recognize that that’s subjective.
- Retr0id 2mo agoAuto-playing audio used to be fine too, it took a while for certain websites to learn how annoying they could be with it - give HDR some time!
- Grombobulous 2mo agoI’m starting to wonder if this is a good idea for a Safari browser extension (if that’s something that can be controlled that way)
- IshKebab 2mo agoThere's a pretty simple solution - gate it on full screen mode.
