Hardware accelerated video decoding for Youtube, Twitch, etc. for a very mundane example.


I don't think Intel needs telemetry to know their customers use Youtube and Twitch.


The ratios might be important if they want to optimize battery life, performance, and video quality.


A tiny scrappy startup like Intel definitely needs to prioritise between YouTube and Twitch optimisation, and the best way to get that information is by spying on everyone, all the time.

I get playing devil's advocate, but come on...


It’s easy enough to slap a top 500 list as your benchmark but their size is why they should be aiming higher than that.


the category of a website (out of 30 possible categories??) seems orthogonal to whether or not it had embedded video or webgl, which should be pretty trivial to detect from GPU activity without knowing anything about the contents of the page that contains it.


Plus which video formats and resolutions are being used.
