GStreamer 1.20: Embedded and WebRTC lead the way

I might switch to Epiphany on my Pinebook Pro due to gstreamer supporting hwaccel video decode. VAAPI (used by Firefox) does not on this hardware.

I'll have to run some tests though.

You can give Chromium a try. It has unofficially supported hw video decode capability. Though in my experience, out of the available browsers, Epiphany had the most robust hw video playback support due to gstreamer integration.

I am pretty sure Chromium does not have hwaccel decode on my hardware (rk3399). It uses VAAPI like Firefox.

My bad. I thought you were saying you had issues with getting vaapi to work on Firefox. Tough luck getting any hw video acceleration in Linux outside of x86_64 and vaapi capable chips.
