Wooooooow, took 'em long enough to add VSR to Firefox. It was for Chromium-based browsers right out the gate. I tested the feature twice using various browsers, mainly Ungoogled Chromium. I'm not sold on VSR (and I'm still annoyed at them using an acronym that AMD had already been using for years for something else), but it was neat to f*ck around with. In some cases it did produce an improved result, but in a lot of cases it made videos look weird. Plus it doesn't solve the problems I usually see in YT videos, such as low-framerate smoke and rotating objects (like vehicle wheels).

Oh yeah, one thing I forgot about VSR is that your GPU and vRAM will crank up to max speed while watching videos. I don't want my GPU dumping out a ton of heat when I'm just watching YT videos. Not to mention the much higher power draw.
