Chromium or Chromium based browser issues

I find that almost everyone on the web has only one answer to chrome GPU acceleration problems, and that's to tell you to turn it off...

If it can't be solved, I have to give up. You have tried your best.
Thank you , Juanito.

hello,

well judging by what you say, in chromium & derivatives at least, the GPU acceleration (if possible) makes a huge difference to browsing.

Is this type of difference (good performance)  reflected in other browsers where they see the machines GPU correctly?.... like say FF........?

or what browsers realy shine in this area?.....MsoftEdge?

thx

i was messing around with browsers  on an old Msoft machine here...... (winXP sp2).
The latest version of a certain browser just would not run, .........so after rooting around in their forum, there was a final trick to patch an sp3 version of "kernnel32.dll" file into the OS instead of it's sp2 version. 

I did the patch and the browser works fine on a 20 year old laptop....it surfs all todays modern web sites pretty good.........youtube etc....facebook...
(Goanna engine) kmeleon76.

i also had to patch the browser itself with 2 DLL files for doing html5 viideo and they are lean-trimnmed DLL's for sp2....(it works)

i will run this same browser on the same machine under TCL and WINE .......and it should work fine.

This machine only has an SSE cpu chip and only supports FF 45 from TCL.....which isn't that great of a browser on performance here......................compared to KMeleon under wine and the same hardware

....could there be a flag that you need to set in the  CHromium browser?

chrome://flags  (into the address bar)

There are lots of flags to set on Chromium concerning GPU's

thx

..apparently chromium-browser needs to be patched for va-api (accelerated video decode) to work.

Are you saying that this may be related to a problem I have?
