I mean how many Firefox users can even use this? Requires new gpu including compatible monitor.

Isn't that exactly why the hate?

Mozilla should focus on adding features everyone can use, not gimmicks from Nvidia that require you to buy their GPU and their approved monitors. Plus considering Nvidia's history with Linux which is a popular OS for Firefox...

AMD doesn't require that shit for, say, FreeSync or FSR.

Nvidia, wayland issues aside is still the superior card 9/10 times. This isn't a gimmick to get people to buy Nvidia, most of us will buy it anyway. During my last purchase as I pondered over whether I should get an amd and move over to wayland or an Nvidia card that would allow me to locally generate images of whatever I wanted. It was a pretty easy decision, I'll stick to X11 and Nvidia until the end. Stuff like this is just a bonus

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Nvidia's history

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

True. That is a good argument
