All this time, toying with #WebGPU, it turned out I was not even using the discrete GPU in my laptop! Have I never looked at the Performance screen in my Task Manager while doing so?! 🤦‍♂️

Anyway, if you are a Windows user and you are playing with WebGPU on a device that has both an integrated (energy saving) GPU and a high-performance discrete GPU, make sure you run your #Chromium browser with the following command line option: --force_high_performance_gpu

Or enable that flag in chrome://flags ... Some of the silly demos I wrote jumped from a mediocre 15-20 FPS to 60 FPS just by turning it on

It seems the implementation of WebGPU in Chromium has issues selecting the high performance adapter, even if instructed to do so, according to the following bug:

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/369219127

It appears #Firefox has the same issue, and I do not know yet of any workaround there, like the one for Chromium.

#firefox mir von heute auf morgen wieder den sponsoring und news spam in neue Tabs zu werfen, ist ein unding.
Hat jemand ein gute alternative als Browser das nicht #Chromium basiert ist und Plugins für #KeePassXC und content blocking wie #ublock und #umatrix hat?

Need a better way to do #parallel tests via #playwright , #chromium is too heavy for the CPU.

During the month of December, #Chromium on my laptop started displaying a #captcha to fill out almost every time I tried to search something in the URL. I tracked it down to #GoogleSearch disliking a WiFi tunneling VPN to an Android app I use on my phone as an unlimited data Internet hotspot. The only way to avoid the captchas was to reset my phone's networking each time 😒 So, I took the plunge to change all of my #Web browsers to use #DuckDuckGo as the default search engine and it works great!

iframeの表示で#を使った時のバグは直らなそう
#Chromium #Edge #Gemini #HTML #バグ #ブラウザ #仕様

　2021年に自分のサイトを作った際に気づいて、いまだに放置されているバグがあって、それをGeminiに尋ねたら、バグではなく正常な動作だということで、直りそうにないことが分かった。
　それはiframeタグのsrcに#を使ってiframe内に表示されるページの位置を決めようとしたときに生じるバグで、表示された親ページの一番上がページの先頭ではなくiframeタグの位置になってしまう。Firefoxでは起こらないのだけど、Edge、Chrome、Operaなど、Chromiumのブラウザで起こるらしい。当時は、Microsoft コミュニティで質問したのだけど、ふと思いついてGeminiに尋ね [...続きは下のURLで]

If the EU would force #Microsoft to make their Application running natively again, instead of the RAM munching Electron (and other #Chromium) mess even the Explorer is now suffering from in #Windows11 - that move would cut over 75% of the RAM consumption at least. (or BSOD the minds of Microsoft CEOs which only hired vibe coders instead of small data coders)

I wish this was open sourced, BUT, it's a great way to see what is available via your local library as a book, ebook, or audiobook:

Firefox (actually: Librewolf): hardware accelerated video decoding working out of the box.
Chromium: all hardware acceleration disabled by default.

Use a decent browser!

Cannot install emulators/linux_base-rl9: kernel missing 64-bit Linux support

Any @Vivaldi fans out there care to share what they love about the browser?

I've been running it a while and I've begun to wonder whether or not I should be supporting #chromium instead.

I don't use the built in mail or newsreader thingies and doubt I will anytime soon.

what annoy me with modern software even more browser, none of them respect their own privacy settings, even with all telemetry disabled they still phone home.

When i use ungoogled chromium, or cromite and have everything disabled they don"t emit a single "home connection" because i told them to do so.

I don't care that it's needed for this or that if i say don't, i expect the app to obey what I the user say

After 2 months and ~300 builds, I've finally packaged CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) for Debian - resolving a 7-year-old ITP (#915400).

This also enabled packaging stremio-gtk, the new GTK4 Stremio client.

58 patches to build Chromium without Google infrastructure. Technical deep-dive: https://vejeta.com/packaging-stremios-gtk4-shell-cef-integration-adventures/

Packages available for testing at https://debian.vejeta.com
