    Over the past ~10 years, I've come to the conclusion that it's best to just pipe high quality video streams into a high quality cross-platform external video player like mpv[0][1][2].

    I can't remember what Firefox uses internally to decode/display different video codecs (ffmpeg like mpv? system builtins? hardware media encode/decode, like on the M1?)

    I can't put my finger on exactly why browser video streams feel so bad to me, but they still do. Maybe it's the DOM overhead, or maybe it's something else. My personal takeaway is that browsers still just aren't optimized enough for fast/performant video playback.
