Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

Anyway, I switched back to Librewolf even though it can't play x.265 files (jellyfin).

you should check that again, Firefox gained support for it last year.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Guides/Formats/Video_codecs#hevc_h.265

check the browser compatibility column in the table. it seems maybe Firefox is the only one supporting it even for those without hardware acceleration?

Admittedly, I haven't tried too hard to get it working in any of the FF browsers lately...my unraid server blew up and it was handling hardware acceleration with a cheap intel vid card. I haven't felt like messing with until now so I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the info

edit: no transcoding when l tried an x.265 in regular firefox. sweet
