HDR support for Windows

[LinDen]

Firefox managed to bring HDR to Macs in 100.0 version. Now it's time for Windows!

It'd be awesome to watch and work on HDR images and videos using Firefox in 2022. Windows is the most popular OS, why not bring HDR here too?
More monitors and devices running on Windows support HDR, so there is an increase in demand of HDR support in Firefox.

The only option for Windows users is either to switch to another browser or to download and use a dedicated app from Microsoft Store.

Safari just added HDR support as part of Technology Preview 125.

Chrome 129+ and Safari 125+ now support WebGPU HDR.

TestUFO will support WebGPU HDR by late spring or early summer; if FireFox wants a test case.

Please add HDR support on Windows!

Why is nothing happening?

been so long, freaking windows 11 got JXL support and HDR backgrounds using AVIF, this should had been priority, even GNOME 48 has HDR now... and they are the Gnome team...

[Darktalon]

+1, everyone else has HDR support but us 😞

Happy 3 Year Anniversary to this post!

Lol status has been In Development for 1 year now. I just switched to FireFox, but yeah, if it can't do HDR, which I've been using for 6 years, then it's not worth it. Bye for now.

Just add tonemaping support

10 bit codec support and you already close to supporting HDR, and unlike chrome type of browsers how about allowing to set peek nits as well so HDR actually looks like its supposed to, since chrome HDR support is still terrible but least better then nothing.

[CosmicVibrancy]

Oh, also yeah, make sure you use the Windows HDR Calibration profile when you implement HDR in Firefox, otherwise it will look like **bleep** lol.

I was wondering why my HDR animations looked weird in FF but not anywhere else.

What's the holdup? Ya'll are being left behind.

@BreannaSullivan have you considered donating some money to Mozilla?

[CosmicVibrancy]

I would happily donate if they will implement the feature. I’m willing to put a bug bounty.

[Thaek]

I would also donate if I could pay towards exactly this functionality.

But looking at the release log the developers seam to be occupied with GUI changes and Translations services and other useless stuff. I don't know which retard prioritizes the backlog. So I will definitly not donate a single cent to them to develop more useless stuff if they don't manage to implement the absolute basics a browser needs to have (like HDR support)

[Thaek]

Don't bother donating a single cent, they have their prioritizes completly wrong. Your money will just end up getting used to develop more GUI changes or translation services instead that they implement the absolute basics a browser needs to have in the 2020s (like HDR support)
