Build into Firefox AI-based video enhancement for better graphics.

So I tried comparing the graphics quality while playing the same video on YouTube on Microsoft Edge and on Zen Browser (firefox-based). I found that when the AI video enhancement feature on Microsoft Edge was turned off and both the browsers were playing the video at the same resolution without any enhancement, Zen browser was actually doing better than Microsoft Edge. The visuals felt much sharper and felt easier to look at on Zen browser.

But after the video enhancement feature was turned on in Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Edge became the obvious winner. Hence now, for every time I want to watch a video with more detailed graphics, I have to opt for Microsoft Edge.

I don't want to do that.

Using Zen Browser has been so delightful for me and I love that it is based on Firefox. I hate having to change the browser just to watch a video with better quality. I wish the Firefox team could build a feasible and well working video enhancement model and build it into Firefox giving users the option to either turn it on or turn it off on videos which are not protected with Digital Rights Management, similarly as in Microsoft Edge.

I believe this will easily lead to the Firefox team dunking one on Microsoft Edge and will put Firefox well-forward on its way to create one of the best browser architectures out there.

Currently, for Firefox users, if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, you can enable the video super-resolution function in the control panel. However, for users of integrated graphics and AMD graphics cards, their video experience is still poor. In the zen browser, due to an unknown bug, NVIDIA's super-resolution function is temporarily not working, and a more general video optimization model is also needed.

Video is an important part of the Internet in modern times. We hope to have a better video experience. I think if Mozilla wants to introduce AI to Firefox, it might as well focus on how to train an AI model to optimize the video experience first. This is much more useful than the current link preview function. Thank you.
