Description
### Custom Node Testing
- [x] I have tried disabling custom nodes and the issue persists (see [how to disable custom nodes](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled) if you need help)
### Expected Behavior
Be able to use the mask editor without extreme slowdown.
Even if your browser has its hardware rendering acceleration deactivated (to optimize VRAM usage).
### Actual Behavior
When you open the mask editor, it has a blur filter in its background.
This blur effect, induced in the frontend by the line “backdrop-filter: blur(10px);” is based on hardware acceleration.
If, for GPU optimization reasons, you haven't enabled hardware acceleration on your browser, the mask editor is a real pain to use.
We're below 10 FPS on an HD screen and below 5 FPS on an Ultra Wide screen.
There's simply too much surface to blur for software rendering.
### Steps to Reproduce
If you can, try in a high resolution _(eg. 3440 x 1440)_, the higher the worst
1. Go into your **browser settings**
2. In System Tab, search for **"Use graphics acceleration when available"** (or simply type the word **acceleration** in the search bar).
3. Disable that option
4. Restart your browser for the changes to take effect.
5. Open Comfyui
6. Add a **Load Image** node
7. Right clic on it and choose "**Open in MaskEditor**", the modal mask editor window will open
8. Notice the whole background is now gently blurred but your mouse cursor is heavily stuttering
### Debug Logs
```powershell
backdrop-filter: blur(10px);
