Firefox Merges Support for Vulkan Video Decoding (github.com)
Havoc 2 minutes ago [-]
Interesting - will see if I can toy with it.

Word of caution though. I’ve found that on my machine (Linux/nvidia) unaccelerated video is way more power efficient. The second video is playing it kept the GPU in a high power state and that uses incrementally more power than the cpu doing software decoding

I had always assumed gpu would obviously be more efficient until I measured it

Was there a link to the project on Github? I think that you've mistakenly shared Github's search tool/path
