> It's a fairly common issue on Linux to be missing hardware acceleration, especially for video decoding.

To be fair, usually the linux itself has hardware acceleration available but the browser vendors tend to disable gpu rendering except on controlled/known perfectly working combinations of OS/Hardware/Drivers and they have much less testing in Linux. In most case you can force enabling gpu rendering in about:config and try it out yourself and leave it unless you get recurring crashes.

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.
