Firefox to get Direct2D Acceleration

by Panagiotis Georgiadis on: 04/06/2010 08:00 PM | source: | 0 comment(s)

Is not really surprising that now Firefox jumps on the bandwagon of the Direct2D acceleration that will offload processing to the GPU. Guru3D.com Image

Last month IE9 was announced with Direct2D/3D acceleration. It seems that, Web Browsing will be forever changed once GPU is incorporated into the task and Firefox does not want to be left behind.

Mozilla is not the only one focused on getting better hardware acceleration, Chrome developers have already begun working on a project ANGLE, to create a Direct3D-based implementation of WebGL, an upcoming web 3D graphics standard to be used with HTML5. The WebGL technology is already proving impressive, helping Googlers run a Quake 2 port inside a browser.
