Before checking the solutions below, make sure to use the best browser that does allocate enough memory for WebGL content. After reviewing each browser, our recommendation goes to Opera.

Opera comes with a complete makeover that in many cases surpasses other browsers such as Chrome or Mozilla. The video experience has been significantly improved with the Video pop-out functionality. This feature allows you to continue browsing on other sites while the opened video is playing and staying in the ground.

Opera comes with various built-in packages, enhanced resource consumption, and great design. Moreover, with Opera, you get a built-in AdBlocker that speeds up the loading of pages and protects against data-mining. Your privacy will be well protected as well with the free and unlimited VPN integrated.

Let’s have a look at some more key functionalities:

  • Import your bookmarks and sync your data across devices effortlessly.
  • Search function.
  • In-built completely free VPN tool to keep your data private.
  • Battery saver function
  • Instant messaging and social media apps directly on your desktop (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram)
  • Highly customizable and easy to use UI

That being said, in order to enable hardware acceleration:

  1. Go to about:config
  2. On the left-hand menu, click Browser.
  3. Click the Show advanced settings checkbox.
  4. Check the box: Use hardware acceleration when available.
