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.
