The first improvement (Media Foundation by FFMPEG) could be significant. Currently, VALVe generates large shaders to re-render those Media Foundation videos into other free codecs. These shaders can be several gigabytes in size for some games with lengthy videos. With FFMPEG, those videos could be played without being re-encoded as shaders.

TLDR:

• New Media Foundation backend using FFMpeg.
• Initial support for network sessions in DirectPlay.
• New Desktop Control Panel applet.
• Various bug fixes.

It takes a time to compile the whole project, but a way less than Firefox and Chrome. There is an AUR package for ArchLinux.

IMHO, it is not yet daily-drive usable. Really slow for JS. The window manager is extreme limited (I can not drag tabs outside the window). It can not render steampowered neither youtube (I didn’t test any more websites, just these two). The current setting page is just a window popup with a checkbox for one option. But competition is always good for the users. A web browser is a big project for today standards. Good luck to these developers 💪👍

I tested it the last week from the main git branch, it doesn’t open YouTube homepage, yet.

TLDR; from MIT to GPL.

The last year 2023 was incredible (providing a lot of good games).
