Re: Firefox and graphic acceleration (Google Earth Web)

Not sure about Google earth, but on Raspberry Pi 4 running Debian, I find that Firefox is notably slower compared to Vivaldi (which is based on Chromium engine). Also Firefox ends up crashing much more often with complex websites that rely heavily on JavaScript, e.g. draw.io. I think on this platform hardware acceleration is quite minimal for both browsers, so apples to apples, Chromium based browsers seem to offer better performance.
