There are lots of questions about pricing and availability.

    IIRC chrome still uses the CPU to decode VP9/AV1, you need to use firefox for full hardware decode.

    Or use h264ify

      On an old nuc I’m using, Firefox with YouTube is a sluggish experience and hardware decide refuses to work. A lot of folks are finding the same, likely Google pushing us away from using Firefox.

        Any NUC has H264 decode on Linux, give Linux Mint a try?

        I think tho in about:config you need to set a vaapi flag to enabled.

          That’s really helpful, I’ll try that thank you. Yes the decode works fine in Chromium. It’s not that, it’s Google shenanigans.

      No, hardware decoding of VP9 and AV1 works great on Chrome; I see it working with two Nvidia GPUs and a Radeon 780M

      Wait, is it the same with Edge? My laptop iGPU (Iris Xe) has VP9 and AV1 hardware decoding, does that extension forces hardware decoding?
