Do you have any sites specifically that were causing you problems? I've not run into any issues myself with flash sites, netflix, amazon, hulu, etc.
That being said, I use the gentoo chromium package that builds chromium from source and rips the codecs out of the binary chrome release.
- mehrdadn 8y agoNo, I was asking to figure out if I should switch! When I look up their differences this is what I see, which makes me hesitant, so I'm wondering if it's an actual problem or not.
- checkyoursudo 8y agoI also use Gentoo and the packaged Chromium and have zero issues with YouTube and Amazon videos.
- mehrdadn 8y agoThanks! But have you had issues with any other videos (or anything else besides lack of Google integration/auto-updates for that matter)?
- _asummers 8y agoNFL streaming has been a pain point, but MLB works. Haven't tried NHL or NBA yet.

- checkyoursudo 8y agoI have used that Gentoo Chromium on a bunch of different video sites. Here are some examples I can think of: - to stream live webcast and prerecorded webcasts through a Continuing Legal Ed provider, using their (proprietary?) web app. - Vimeo. - NFL.com but not live streamed any games. - some of the 2018 Winter Olympics, including live stream. - videos but no live stream on the Premier League and Bundesliga websites. - Twitch, both live and recorded However, I have never tried Netflix or Hulu or any other pay provider. I'm sure I've watched videos on other sites that I'm not thinking of right now, like BBC, etc. I have never had any other issues, but I only use Chromium for a few things, like expressly watching videos, and using a few specific websites. Otherwise, I use Firefox and FF Nightly as my main browsers, for almost everything except watching videos and streams and also anything with audio. For all that stuff, I have had nothing but great experiences with Chromium.

- checkyoursudo 8y agoI should say, > I have never tried Netflix or Hulu or any other pay provider. ... except YouTube Red/subscription and Amazon Prime Video, which are obviously both pay-fors, but I mentioned those in the previous comment so I neglected to include them in the list above. Both of those have worked perfectly well in Chromium on my Gentoo install.
