The amount of parameters you have to add to a Chromium browser, on Linux, to make it actually use hardware accelerated video decode is retarded.
How have they STILL not made this a default feature?
My only comfort is that from things I'm reading, Firefox isn't doing that much better either.
This works for me on latest Vivaldi stable.

Let me guess, Firefox? No thanks. I'd rather use a browser that actually makes my life easier.
@alyx netsurf, w3m, lynx, emacs web viewer, wget and rendering the HTML in your head - the possibilities are endless.
It's quite sad that you surrender your freedom for a very small amount of convenience.

@alyx @Suiseiseki librewolf is a thing.
Most hardware accelerated video decoding is handled by proprietary software, so what are you expecting?

Why do you use a proprietary browser?
