When I play a video from odysee.com on LibreWolf it uses 2-3x the cpu that Brave does to play the same video. It also turns on the fans in my laptop which signals overburden. My laptop has plenty of power so I"m wondering what the problem is. Have I missed a setting or is this just how LibreWolf works?

    Yes, I’m on Linux and LibreWolf compositing says: WebRender (Software), my Firefox however says WebRender without the “(Software)” and Brave says “Hardware accelerated.” Firefox and Brave consume similar normal amounts of cpu. LibreWolf does not.

    So if my Firefox has acceleration, then shouldn’t LibreWolf also? Do I have to add it or enable it somewhere? Thanx
