kiki349452y@lbfalvy they indeed do, but calculating all that blur for layers upon layers of elements is a stressful task for an average laptop

This page with the comment box open includes 678 elements, I would expect a majority of them is visible and the browser doesn't optimize boxes that are provably single-color so yeah, that should be quite a challenge even for a powerful laptop.

Update: I just tested it.
page: This rant
gpu: Nvidia GT750M
browser: Firefox
os: Linux
display server: Wayland
driver: Nouveau
compositor: KWin
Conclusion: Shit but very stable framerate, no sign of heavy load on graphics card.
Hypothesis: Firefox has resource limits in place to prevent this exact thing. -
