(TL;DR at bottom)
Hi everyone,
Going into this I'd like to say first that I am by no means a web developer and I know nothing about how browsers are built.
I've got a really specific use case that requires me to disable hardware acceleration on my browser. When away from each other, my partner and I like to watch shows and movies together over Zoom's Screen Sharing. For a while I've just been using Chrome to handle that and Safari for everything else. The reason I use Chrome for this is that when I turn off hardware acceleration on Chrome it lets me share my screen on websites like Netflix, Hulu, etc. without an empty screen appearing.
But I just don't want Chrome on my computer anymore, if I can somehow get hardware acceleration off on Safari. It's nice to just use one browser for everything, especially since Safari is great for my battery.
I looked into this online and something I read says that you just aren't able to do this anymore in Safari but then I asked my friend who does dabble in this sort of stuff and he says there's probably something under: Develop --> Experimental Features that I can mess around with to turn it off.
If anybody has pointers for me, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks :-)
TL;DR - I'm looking for a way to turn off hardware acceleration on Safari like you are able to do in Chrome
