I built from source the following web browsers and dependencies, and
experienced one show stopper so far.  Otherwise, it is working great on
11 beta ThinkPad E470.

 - chromium-140.0.7339.127
 - firefox128-128.14.0nb2
 - firefox140-140.4.0 (pkgsrc/wip)

While playing a music playlist in `picture in picture' view on
firefox128, the shuffle to advertising segment coincided with the X
Window system going haywire.  Dragging a window would leave behind
streaks of window frame artifacts and the desktop view wouldn't refresh.
It was unusable.

On firefox140, PIP viewing music playlist hasn't broken down.

I use frequency scaling on the cpu in /etc/rc.conf

  estd=YES
  estd_flags="-s -d -l 40 -h 80 -m 400 -M 2701"

and believe that causes occasional glitches in the music videos I see.
