For those unaware, Hardware Acceleration, also known as Hardware Boost, is a feature integrated into modern web browsers. This feature allows leveraging idle hardware, particularly the graphics card, to accelerate image processing and content rendering on the web.
The outcome is a smooth and lag-free browsing experience. However, this is an optional feature in browsers, hence users need to activate it to utilize Hardware Acceleration.
Here's how to activate Hardware Acceleration on three popular browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox, and Coc Coc with integrated features.
