The difficulty is adding support for exactly those features VA-API needs - multiplied by each video driver having slightly different requirements. Once the sandboxing code supports that we can look if there'd be a meaningful security benefit in moving things around.

Is  there an official way of working around this in the meantime? Since
disabling RDD sandbox isn't enough anymore on Firefox 100?
