I don't get the hate.

I mean how many Firefox users can even use this? Requires new gpu including compatible monitor.

And where is the usecase? Videos in browser? Those are usually chopped down anyway. Upscaling will not help there.

So it's a cool feature for the 10 people who can use it.

You think only 10 people have an RTX GPU?

Also super resolution and HDR are separate checkboxes.

Obviously I was exaggerating. But maybe only 10 people have an rtx, use Firefox, and even want to use the feature.

Well Nvidia is the biggest Graphic card manufacturer by far so it's quite likely that any individual Firefox user has an RTX card.

I do too, but unfortunately it's an old RTX card which doesn't support this feature (if I recall correctly anyways)

That's nice. Support for my card (2080ti) seems to have been added last October.

Well, you've pointed out one of the issues. Was it really worth dedicating an engineer's limited time to?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Are there any other projects worth doing at the moment? While their time could be limited... if there's nothing else on the table then might as well keep them busy doing something.
