Dear Linux folks,


Just a small note, that Intel pushed patches for the Chromium browser
for review [1] to=C2=A0use VAAPI [2] along with vaapi-driver to run all
supported media use cases with hardware acceleration.

This will hopefully let GNU/Linux systems desktop to catch up further
to Microsoft Windows systems, especially on mobile devices like laptops
where this makes a difference in how long the battery lasts.

Unfortunately, Mozilla Firefox still lacks support for this too. Bug
report #1210727 [3] has been open for several years. Maybe Intel is so
kind to also do that work. ;-)


Thanks,

Paul
