alt Hacker News> It’s bad because it dims the entire display. You’re assuming your app is more important than whatever else might be displayed.
What are you talking about? I have a HDR display, in Chrome on Arch the literal only change in the submission's demo is the brightness of that particular element, doesn't change anything else on the screen, sounds like you have a broken HDR implementation.

I think they meant that by making an element brighter than the rest you basically change the contrast and the rest will feel dimmer
If your setup runs everything in forced hdr you won’t notice. OSes like MacOS will map sdr making everything look dim that’s not hdr.
