Will apple ever fix pro motion in web browsers ?

Will apple ever fix 120hz not kicking in when browsing ,or do they intend it to be like so ?

It's been marginally improved in the 12.1 beta, so it's probably something they're working on.

Thanks !
How do you mean marginally however
While I'm not 100% confident that this is true,it would seem that safari and browsers get stuck at 60hz.
If they did fix it it means it must work at 120hz,this being fully working no? (Unless it kicks in randomly)
What I mean by that is that unlike on the iphone,there is nothinf in between 60 and 120hz,so the improvements should be either all or nothing ..

I don't know what actual discrete refresh modes are supported by ProMotion, but I can describe the behaviors I saw on the latest stable build and the latest beta. On the stable build, scrolling with your fingers on the touchpad looked like it was above 60hz, but with some strange inconsistent frame pacing or frame dropping (which could be explained by the screen aggressively changing back to 60 if it decided that the motion was too slow.) And when releasing fingers from the trackpad and letting the inertia take over, it hardlocked to 60 every time.

On the beta, the interial scrolling acts a lot more like regular scrolling. It's a lot smoother on average, but doesn't look or feel like a 'clean' 120. To my eye it looks like it's still switching back to 60hz way too fast and way too often. But occasionally, maybe 1 in 5 times or so, I do a scroll motion and it just looks perfectly smooth, which never happened to me on the release build.

It could be just placebo and I'm going insane, and I'm too lazy to build a tool to try and measure the changes in refresh rate, but this is what the experience has been like for me at least.

I never mentioned discrete so I'm not sure what you're talking about

Hmm I get it,some very agressive stuff if would seem

Somehow on the iPad it doesn't behave like that,even though it has the same promotion hw (24-48-60-120) ,and battery life is more of a concern on an ipad than on a Mac...yet the Mac behaves badly.i would say it's kinda the same on the iphone ,but that's understandable because
1)iphones typically have small batteries
2)u can charge your iphone when using
3)its display has 80hz option,which is used when you stop scrolling ,and dropping 120>80>60 is way less rude than 120 to 60 I believe,albeit still visible (pro motion on iphone isn't that good to my eyes,and certainly much much worse than Samsung's s21ultra implementation for example )

Why WOD u have to build a tool,is there nothing out there u can use to check ?? No Mac utility to help you in that domain ?
