VP9 playback hardware-accelerated ? Linux

Hi guys.

I’ve filed a “feature request” for AV1 - which other Chromium siblings already do.
But, I’ve realized that not even VP9 is HW accelerated on Linux - I’ve fiddled with a few relevant, I think, flags but to no avail.

Should this be available in Brave on relevant hardware, such VP9 playback?

thanks, L.

Expected result:

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Latest available as of today

Additional Information:

Noting . . .

“Latest available as of today” [Feb. 1, 2025]:

Release v1.74.51 (Chromium 132.0.6834.160)


And your feature request:


Please do not ignore/forget - while on it - to “fix” Flatpak variants.

Which config files - for Flatpak-deployed “Brave” - needs editing in order to include/add user flags for “Command Line” be affected when ran/started off the icon, in Gnome?

thanks, L.
