How many web developers understand that a low-end integrated GPU on a laptop can draw full 4k screens of pixels at 3000 frames per second?

Honest question, what if you need clip by path (aka border-radius + overflow: hidden) + 0.9 opacity + box shadow + let's say blur on hover + transition of all of that. Suddenly it's really hard to do even 60fps, or is there a simple way?

All of that is extremely easy. Except the blur that is a bit more expensive. Depends on the strength of the blur etc but a low end laptop can still do all this at 4k hundreds of fps.

Because it is being done wrong. My argument is, the web is a dumb cluster-f that makes everything too hard and complicated. Do you think a snapshot of a repo of things being too hard and complicated is somehow a counter example?

What's wrong here? Webrender is just canvas lib. It's using GPU. It's like ganesh from skia.

Let me ask you this. Why can't a web app be written in C and use the vulkan graphics api? The answer to that question is the problem.

You can do that if you don't care about accessibility, just compile to wasm.
