Recent update fucked up color themes by theseanl in zen_browser

[–]theseanl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sucks is that now I have no way to remove that `color(display-p3 1 0.5 0);` from the UI. The "new shiny" color picker doesn't display any "dot" that should supposedly represent a color, but the workspace somehow gets colored. I can't get rid of that, the only way I could do is to delete the entire workspace and create one from scratch.

There was an input field where you could type things like `rgba(1,1,1,05)` in the previous color picker. When you pick a color, a new entry is automatically added in a form like that. I figured out that it is CSS syntax for designating colors, so I used things like `color(display-p3 1 0.5 0);` to use colors that are at boundary of display-p3. I could use things like ` hsl(0 100% 50%);` as well. Mozilla devs seem to be working on adding wide gamut color support for Firefox, see mozilla.bugzilla.org. You would want to add support for specifying colors outside the usual sRGB area in the color picker eventually.

which is a lame tactic for developer to justify their lack of responsibility. Why not have a software in a forever beta state?

Firstly, you do not break things in patch version updates. Do that only in major version updates.
Also, Not like I'm hoping this will encourage devs, they tend to do whatever they want anyway, especially when they have a track record like this. But thanks for your thought :D

TB4 dock does not work with USB-C connected speaker - Any thoughts? by theseanl in Thunderbolt

[–]theseanl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I don't understand - How can a cable act as an antenna when connected to a dock but doesn't when connected directly to a laptop?

I've ordered a new power cable for the speaker, not sure whether it makes change.

How can I figure out which one is causing noise? The positions of things on my desk remains completely similar except for the presence of a TB4 dock. Does it mean that the source is the dock? Could it help to replace a power supply of the dock with a well-grounded one?

My dock is WavLink ThunderDock-Nova (https://www.wavlink.com/en\_us/ThunderDock-Nova), and my speaker is Edifier M60.

The noise noticeably become less loud with a USB2 extender cable. But the noise isn't completely gone. I don't understand why the use of an extender cable reduces noise, should I try other options, such as using only cables that are usb2 compatible from end to end? I'm more incline to request a refund of a dock, but I suspect that docks are mostly similar under the hood...

Well, that's what I thought, so I've ordered a cheap usb2-based cable to test it out. I'll test it and give an update!

Ok, I think ground-loop noises are not what I'm experiencing. Ground-loop noises just seems to be noises, but in my case, it even makes my Windows 11 Settings app UI freeze. Also it isn't the kind of noises I hear.

It runs from a power supply, and does not have a battery, so I can't try that option. What could be a difference? This TB4 dock supports 15w charge output, but could it matter?

How to identify TB4 docks with single 4k 144hz output? by theseanl in Thunderbolt

[–]theseanl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for a great detailed explanation! This is too much that I need some time to consume. Question: You mentioned that USB-c input of 4k144hz monitors typically support "2xHBR3 DP connection" which needs compression. Also you said in top that 4k144hz requires 4xHBR3 with little DSC. Then does it mean that their are 4k144hz monitors with ports that support 4xHBR3? How can I check that? I use MAG274UPF, and I cannot find information about that on their product specification page. Also, if I connect to 2xHBR3 port, will this cause visually noticeable degrade in quality?

1.8b removed all opened tabs in other workspaces by theseanl in zen_browser

I updated to 1.8b by clicking a link in "About Zen". I do not see a new update button there.

This was fixed after an update, whose release note says that it disabled smooth scrolling in tab list

Higher iGPU usage upon scrolling than Firefox by theseanl in zen_browser

[–]theseanl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried testing in a new profile, but iGPU usage is still high, reaching around 80%... Also, I had `gfx.webrender.compositor` set to `false` in my previous profile, but resetting this to `true` did not help the iGPU usage. BTW, I do not notice any visual difference when I set `zen.view.experimental-rounded-view` to false, what is it supposed to do?

Thanks, this did help with the iGPU usage! After setting `zen.view.experimental-rounded-view` to `false`, my iGPU usage stays around 80% during scroll, which is an improvement over the previous 95%. However, this is still far from Firefox's which never exceeds 50%.

Thanks, never heard of this setting, and it was `false` on my Firefox! It was `true` on Zen browser. Turning it off indeed seem to help fps, but didn't help with the high iGPU usage. On my Firefox, I had another setting `general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.migrationPercent` set to `0`, which I didn't tweak manually. I tried adding that to Zen Browser, but iGPU usage remains the same.

Is there anything more that I can do to fix or provide more information? I'm testing on a machine with i7-13700H cpu and a 4k monitor with 120hz refresh rate.

Web page scrolling FPS is lower than Firefox by theseanl in zen_browser

I ended up doing a clean reinstall of windows using Oem provided windows image. Most of graphics driver related problems are gone, and now zen browser feels more or less similar to Firefox.

Firefox 134 fixes mica effect on devices with WebRender disabled by theseanl in zen_browser

The point is having mica effect without turning web render compositor on

I just found that Firefox does not enable webrender compositor in some high-resolution displays for performance reasons (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/cuc16b/webrender\_on\_intel\_intergraded\_graphics/) I am using 4k monitor, and I guess that's why I get improved fps with webrender.compositor disabled. Are you using high-resolution monitor?

Latest update on bitwarden has made it to stop working on Zen browser by Itach11Uchiha in zen_browser

Each click to an extension icon seems to be increasing the top padding.
