Neat! Doesn't look particularly pleasant as the edges have high contrast single-pixel width artifacts, but maybe it's possible to smooth that out. Could also just be a quirk in chrome's svg/backdrop filter support that t

As long as the lower blur layers are not fully occluded by opaque content, then yes - they all need to be evaluated, and sequentially due to their dependency. This is also true if there is transparency without blur for that matter, but then

You misunderstood, this is not about computing individual pixels but only selective rerendering graphical elements which have been changed, and in turn figuring out the total area of change. This propagates through the entire stack to let t

The problem with these kinds of blur effects is not the cost of a gaussian blur (this isn't gaussian blur anyway as it has a lens effect near the edges). It's damage propagation and pipeline stalls. When you have a frosted glass o

Blur is expensive because it propagates damage and has to wait for all previous rendering to be complete. When one pixel changes underneath a blur the entire blurred area needs to be redrawn, meaning that all elements on top needs to be red

It's not. Every USB-C to HDMI cable in existence is a DisplayPort alt-mode cable with a DP to HDMI converter at the end. They don't require active cooling, even if they get a little warm.
