Thanks for your suggestions Andrea. I followed up on your WPE comment and found out that there is a build switch called "-DUSE_WPE_RENDERER" to let webkitgtk use the WPE renderer.
In my buildroot configuration file, this switch is off, but further reading revealed that upstream recommends the use of this option. I am away from my build system currently, but will give it a try (turn on wpe renderer switch) when i get back Regards Cerezo On Mon, Jun 7, 2021, 8:44 AM Andrea Giammarchi <andrea.giammar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Not sure if relevant, or a proper answer, 'cause I think there are no > bindings for Gtk (or maybe there are?) but the fastest browser for the Pi > (2, 3, 4) is WPEWebKit, which is HW accelerated. > To date, I've never managed to get nearly similar performance via > WebKit2-GTK: not CSS, not Canvas, even less WebGL, video are slow. > > Maybe you can bootstrap COG and WPE a part?
