Didn't Chrome (and probably others) added GPU accelerated CSS and SVG (i.e., vector graphics) 10 years ago? https://www.tomshardware.com/news/google-chrome-browser-gpu-...

Not exactly - the article you link to is about SVG/CSS filters, not path drawing. Modern Chrome (skia) supports accelerated path drawing but only some of the work is offloaded to the GPU. In even older Chrome the GPU was used for compositing bitmaps of already-rendered layers.
Yeah I was also under the impression that Skia had GPU acceleration.

Same with the FF Rust renderer (sorry don't remember the name).

Pathfinder?
I think it's Servo
Based on a quick test I just ran, it seems chrome does and firefox doesn't.
