youtube specifically, no, because youtube will do vp9 fine. Other sites though, which use h264 will be a bit problematic. Still, you can install chrome for that

youtube specifically, no, because youtube will do vp9 fine. Other sites though, which use h264 will be a bit problematic. Still, you can install chrome for that crowd, and they'll be fine too. Alternatively, you can enable rpmfusion or other third party repos, which has become a bit easier (almost too easy unfortunately) in recent fedora releases. I'm personally not a big fan of this direction though because it blurs the lines between official good quality software, semi-official software that is mostly fine except for patent trolls, proprietary drivers, and random proprietary software delivered through flatpak/snap etc. Currently, all of these are almost enabled by default, or are just one click away.
