It would be bad for Linux users. To my knowledge, it is the only web browser that offers without patching video hardware acceleration.

It works on both Xorg and Wayland.

But TBH, the last few releases from 79 showed some bugs and regressions that affected my user experience. From 79 to 81-82, I had to disable vaapi support otherwise it made video playing stutter.

And in 83, webrender caused some extensions popup Windows to be blank.

I hope Linux Wayland user experience will stabilize. But I switched to Firefox full time on my home laptop thanks to hw acceleration support and also tab containers.
