Top! Fantastic, useful for amd gpus without the nvidia video upscale, especially on Linux without the video upscale options. It would be amazing if it was possible to implement heavier version of FSR for powerful GPUs

Thank you! I'm really glad it's useful on Linux, where browsers don't offer any video upscaling of their own.

About a heavier FSR: FSR 1 has no heavier mode, as it always runs the same two passes. The newer versions (FSR 2, 3 and 4) are temporal: they need motion vectors and depth data that games provide but videos don't, so they can't be used in a browser.

I'm studying other upscalers that can make use of a powerful GPU, though. The first one is in version 1.4.0: an Anime4K quality for anime and cartoons, which cleans up compression and redraws the lines at a higher resolution. You can choose it from the popup or with Alt+Shift+G. I'm also looking at heavier options for regular video.

Thanks for the feedback!
