Public bug reported: Upstream allowed to enable VAAPI through chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode Commit URL: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/2208531
But Chromium still needs to be built with flag "use_vaapi=true" Patch could be easily backported to version 85 but currently Chromium needs to be run with --use-gl=desktop switch (I have Bionic build on test PPA https://launchpad.net/~xalt7x/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-deb-vaapi-test-upstream) Please use this build flag for Snap and Deb builds (16.04 , 18.04) so people with Intel & AMD on X11 wouldn't need to rely 3rd-party PPAs for Hardware acceleration.
