![]() ![]() This is similar to what the popular add-on Auto Tab Discard does. You can optionally enable a setting to "Show unload tab menu item" in the tab context menu, which you can use to unload tabs manually. Waterfox G4 will unload idle tabs automatically when your computer is low on memory. The reduction in the minimum system requirements was mentioned in the release notes for the latest version. ![]() ![]() Users with a computer powered by an SSE 4.1 CPU can rejoice now, as Waterfox G4.1.10 once again supports the legacy systems. This meant that computers would need to be upgraded to an SSE 4.2 chipset to use the browser, which is not exactly convenient for those on a tight budget, or relying on old hardware that cannot be upgraded easily without replacing other components. There was an uproar among users in the Waterfox community when G4 debuted last year, and removed support for SSE 4.1 compatible processors. My GPU is a dated Kepler-based Nvidia Quadro, with drivers that Nvidia no longer keeps current.Waterfox G4 is compatible with SSE 4.1 processors again Since Firefox 109 doesn’t have the same issue, it means primarily that they have been able to figure out the right combination of settings for certain thus affected GPUs, just like Google did with Chrome. When it comes to Firefox/Waterfox, I’ve just recently installed Firefox 109, for reference and comparison, and I’m not going to install 102 ESR along with it…īut there is no blur for me in Firefox 109 with ‘performance defaults’ enabled, while in Waterfox 5.1.2, I had to uncheck ‘performance defaults’ and uncheck ‘use hardware acceleration’. Interestingly enough, Microsoft has not gone through the same diligence with Edge, and I had to uncheck their ‘Use hardware acceleration’ option. ![]() While I’ve never observed this issue in any stable release of Google Chrome, it was well obvious to me from their detailed GPU-related settings that they have carefully disabled certain parts of GPU-accelerated rendering for certain GPU/drivers. I’m new to Waterfox, but I’ve known this blur for years from… Microsoft Edge!įrom what I’ve known, this has nothing to do with Windows dpi scaling and everything to do with the browser’s accelerated rendering incompatibility with certain GPUs and their drivers. ![]()
