It’s all client side. It even mentions infected clients.
Video decoding/encoding should work fine, better than Nvidia as fewer things support nvdec (the vaapi wrapper is enough though).
I’d guess its a solution similar to DASH that dynamically streams different content.
What does a privacy conscious version even look like?
Some things simply aren’t legal anymore like buying crypto without identification.
I have written apps in those toolkits. I can’t say it’s easier than the web of course but it’s not that bad.
Thats not relevant because Cosmic isn’t either.
My view is that if the goal was to effectively make good software they wouldn’t start from scratch.
If they used wlroots the desktop would be usable today with a good feature set.
If they used Qt or GTK they would have feature rich well supported software. (GTK4 could have been an improvement for them, it’s designed around being minimal and having platform libraries implement design choices)
They didn’t take a practical approach imo. You could argue its a long term investment but because of it it’s probably years off of feature parity. The only upside today is.. it’s written in Rust.
The project is motivated by “I like Rust, lets make a whole desktop in it” not by good UX.
Webextensions get their own webprocess as well as running in the website. I don’t have a link but if you read their source they just pass a lot of data to their process to determine things (last i looked some years ago).
There is a trade off of executing more things on the site vs transferring a lot of data. Either way it’s a heavy extension.
