Chromium Migration from version 70 to 110 for memory saver and HW acceleration options #742

Hi,

I am facing on challenge on i.mx6 hardware about the chromium performance.

The application glitch as well as memory consumption is high, I understood this because of older version of usage.

By looking at these, https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser/issues/663#issuecomment-1647438830 and https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser/issues/735#issuecomment-1647431870 thread, I also thought to migrate from older version to newer v110.

For this can some help understand that what level of % improvement (in terms of memory) we can expect before attempting for the migration journey ?

Perhaps any document about this features or someone has alike experience ?

Secondly, if we want to attempt can someone guide on the head start ?

I tried analysing the recipes and it seems chromium for imx depends upon number of other packages i.e. cario, wayland, gbm etc. So my belief is they also needs to be upgraded first, (is it ?)

So any advise for the starting point for migration ?

Appreciate your support.

Thanks & Regards, Hardevsinh Palaniya
