- 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)?

- 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.
