Linux?

I've now tried firefox and chromium-browser on x11 and wayland.

firefox
gpu acceleration seems to work
va-api acceleration does not work (apparently it will work in wayland with the latest firefox/libva)

chromium-browser
gpu acceleration might be working partially
va-api acceleration does not work (apparently there is a patch available)

Well, there should be no problem when Firefox is enabled with GPU acceleration.
After chrome/ Chromium is enabled with GPU acceleration, it needs to do some proper configuration.
it can display web pages normally with good performance, which indicates that GPU acceleration is successful...
The only GTK controls used by Chrome that don't display properly, such as the entire area of the address bar, right-click menus, etc., are still able to handle user events, which is a bit of a surprise.

(a) After chrome/ Chromium is enabled with GPU acceleration, it needs to do some proper configuration......
(b) and there is a patch for va-api acceleration in Chromium Linux.

......so what must a typical Linux user actually need to DO to Chromium to achieve (a) above? ....... OR is (a) above just the default state of Linux chromium anyhow on x11?
..................& where is (b) above...?

(c) Well, there should be no problem when Firefox is enabled with GPU acceleration.

........what must a typical Linux user actually DO to FF to achieve (c) above?........ or is (c) the  default state of FF on x11 anyhow?

thanks

Juanito:
In CorePure64, both firefox-ESR and a recent firefox_getLatest seem to use gpu acceleration by default.

I've no plans to update chromium-browser, but the build notes are here if anybody else would like to try.
