Ubuntu needs a GPU accelerated browser

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
We all know the Web support of an operating system is becoming more
and more important for users.
The situation right now in terms of browser Performance and power
consumption of GNU/Linux is not really in a good shape compared to the
2 other competitors : Windows and Mac OSX.
Windows 10 : Microsoft has shown how its integrated browser is more
efficient and less hungry on power consumption than other browsers.
Mac OSX: Safari is also showing a great power consumption and
integrated features.
SO this bug is to track progress for an integrated browser for Ubuntu ( can
be firefox, chromium, something else ) that would out of the box :
- Use GPU for video decoding
- Use GPU for Web 3D rendering like webGL
- integrate as much as possible EME HTML5 for DRM support (like
firefox 49 for netflix)
Please suggest other features in the comments
