You are right. Hardware-accelerated video decode is currently not supported by chrome and also the chromium, released by Ubuntu. Brave or chromium-Beta is likely a way to get through it. Both of the browsers are not able to be installed from Ubuntu's repository. They are also not available in snap store. Is there any reason for that? security vulnerability?
