Comment 50 for bug 2004532

Hi Nathan,

I can confirm hardware acceleration is now working in Chromium browser
version 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) snap (64-bit).

Hardware acceleration still DOES NOT work in Firefox version 115.0
(64-bit) Mozilla Firefox snap for Ubuntu canonical-002-1.0.

Using Xorg on Kubuntu 23.04.

Best,

Ivan
