I don't get the hate.
I mean how many Firefox users can even use this? Requires new gpu including compatible monitor.
And where is the usecase? Videos in browser? Those are usually chopped down anyway. Upscaling will not help there.
So it's a cool feature for the 10 people who can use it.
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
