[Windows] Mullvad browser locked at 60 fps #16

Closed CostcoFanboy closed 1 year ago

It seems Mullvad is locked by default at 60 fps. Is there a way to remove this lock? I don't see a setting in about:config that could help.

FF had it removed by default and I can crank up the FPS up to my monitor's Hz (144).

I see. I think this is too much of a user experience hit to be worth the use. I'll stick to Waterfox. Cheers, thank you for the quick answers.

I understand this being a requirement for something like TOR, but this is rather regressive for an everyday browser.

If this philosophy is followed, I believe that there is effectively no real use case for this browser. And this will just became "gimped TOR".

Every user will either go to TOR for real privacy, Firefox for "some privacy" or WaterFox/LibreWolf for "Firefox without the garbage that violates privacy".
