google refuses to support this on desktop linux though, it requires a patched chromium build. The only reason vaapi support is there at all is because their chromeOS uses it.

I used Chromium and it is very easy to use on Arch. Not sure why you act like it isn't supported. A lot more than what is available for Firefox.

because it isn't supported, just look at the comments from google employees on the bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=463440...

sure the situation is better than it is with firefox, but having to use a patched chromium build isn't exactly ideal
