Sounds pretty cool! Why is this done at browser level and not at window manager level?
Beats me. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ That is a good point. Why isn't this shit done at the window manager level? Fucking Microsoft. Wish I could switch to Linux but it doesn't even support HDR at all.
Recent Windows 10 and Windows 11 support auto HDR, You can enable HDR in the display settings, and it works for pretty much everything. I've never noticed that Firefox lacks native HDR support, because Windows does compensate. The only time it doesn't is when older games use exclusive fullscreen mode, and then auto-HDR still works as long as I tell them to run in a window and use borderless windowed mode.
That'd explain why I had had never heard about it, lol. Hopefully the Wayland folks are working on it.
