New Revision: 542576
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/542576

Log:
  Remove mention of a command-line-flag that doesn't work.
  
  There is a discussion of these flags in qutebrowser's bugtracker
  (not otter!),
  	https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2671
  but the mechanism of "--qt-flag" is specific to qutebrowser:
  it isn't a general Qt thing. I can't find anywhere in otter-browser's
  source history where it has a --disable-gpu flag: that **is** a Qt
  thing, as documented at
  	https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-debugging.html
  However the application has to be able to pass that on to Qt
  (which otter apparently doesn't anymore, and neither does falkon).
  
  Overall the recommendation is to use environment variables to
  manage Chromium-inside-WebEngine, as documented by Qt,
  e.g.
  	QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu" otter-browser

 If you get wrong colors when watching videos while using the QtWebEngine
 backend, this is probably because your system does not support hardware
