The only browser I’ve ever had issues with enabling video acceleration on Linux is Firefox.

All the Blink-based ones just work as long the proper libraries are installed and said libraries properly detect hardware support.

I run Fedora and for legal reasons, they ship a version that has this problem. Have you tried Mozilla's Flatpak build? I use it instead and it resolves all my problem.

When I enabled HW acceleration on my Linux laptop to see how much it would improve battery life in Linux, my automated test (which is basically just browsing Reddit) would start crashing every 20 minutes or so.
