VideoFlux: Unified Browser Decoding

VideoFlux delivers a single, high-performance video decoding engine that abstracts away browser inconsistencies, ensuring flawless playback across Firefox, Chromium, and others. By providing a plug‑in API, developers can offload hardware acceleration, support emerging codecs like JPEG‑XL, and avoid the broken or half‑broken decoding that plagues native browser support.

Comment on: Firefox 153 available with support for Vulkan video decoding, JPEG-XL

Interesting, I've personally had the exact opposite experience: Chromium hardware decoding was always half-broken for me and nearly impossible to get working, whereas in Firefox, I had to modify a single setting in "about:config" 5 years ago and it's worked perfectly ever since.
