Damn, I didn’t know streamable is so crappy now…

Anyway, I’ve tried a lot of different players and they all struggle.
On the phone it’s almost fine, but any Android TV Box just gets killed with a sufficiently complex scene.

Yep. When I switched out my Nvidia for AMD it was as plug-and-play as it gets.

Most anime have .ASS subtitles and are kinda complex sometimes with singsong related subtitles, but never had any issues on android with them.

That’s exactly what I meant. Most simple subtitles will be fine.

This example is still relatively simple, but it should give you an idea: https://streamable.com/nj8fey
Good fansubs can sometimes do really crazy things, including replacing entire moving backgrounds.

For some content DirectPlay is just not possible, as much as I’d love it to be.

More complex stylized subtitles will absolutely trash almost any Android device unless transcoded.

Yeah, I think open should be the new one.

Maybe you can try to check if you’re using legacy drivers or the new version that’s party open-source.
I think Nvidia switched to those for their most recent cards not long ago.

I don’t think you read the article, or you just like being tracked.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

That’s where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.

And what else should be recommended?

The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.

Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here’s a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.

it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

I don’t think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.
