Description of changes
Previously Tor/Mullvad Browser didn't have support for GPU acceleration.
On
about:support
underCompositing
it would showWebRender (Software)
and there were a lot of occurrences ofFEATURE_FAILURE_GLXTEST_FAILED
.I've added neccessary dependencies for GPU acceleration as well as some new dependencies & options to better support Wayland, Pipewire & VA-API.
I also added
autoPatchelfHook
to fixglxtest
, which threw an error before on startup of the browser, which could be seen in the console:After these changes
