    probably not using hardware acceleration because linux is shit, you can enable it for your browser, look it up on the arch wiki

      I have hardware acceleration on and can see it using the gpu, and it still affects fps or stutters a bit

        are you sure you're using your gpu decoder? intel top and nvidia smi have that, not sure about amd

    Without more details it's hard to answer. For now just renice and ionice the video player so the game has higher priority

    They battle from same output devices. Similar happened in 1992 windows 3.1; some DOS mode exe:s battled of the same COM1 device (mouse)

    I have the same problem, hardware acceleration is enabled, webrender is active, nvtop shows gpu usage when video plays, did all the arch wiki bullshit, tried moving firefox profile to tmpfs, still get stutter in other games when video plays in firefox.
    linux is shit for these kinds of basic-usability things :/
