Broken HW accel for >vivaldi-7.7 under Wayland/Hyprland?

Hi,

I've noticed that newer builds of vivaldi break HW acceleration under Wayland/Hyprland - I have a laptop with two cards (Intel & Nvidia)

$ lspci  | rg -i VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-S UHD Graphics (rev 04)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD103GLM [RTX 5000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU] (rev a1)

When trying to play back (some) videos, I get a stream of errors like this & the whole UI of vivaldi breaks/freezes.

Re: Broken HW accel for >vivaldi-7.7 under Wayland/Hyprland?

`--render-node-override=/dev/dri/renderD129` why?
first try with --disable-gpu-compositing

Edit:
if it works then, try with these:
--ozone-platform=wayland
--use-gl=egl
--ignore-gpu-blocklist
--disable-features=Vulkan,WaylandOverlayDelegation
