BTW, does anyone know whether the Chrome-under-Linux incompatibility to the "Microsoft Teams web client", which suddenly started some time in December, is just (as usual) caused by pure malice on the part of Microsoft, or is there any actual Windows/Linux Chrome difference causing it?

But hey, whatever works to get to eventually enabling acceleration on Linux.

It is an internal Chromium abstraction that is meant to make APIs more consistent and safer, but doesn't really impact the user.

This doesn't have any short term benefits to Linux users., but maybe by the end of the year.... But in other news, the Fedora build of Chromium now includes the gpu video decoding patch which was until now maintained in an unofficial package. So that's two significant distributions that ship Chromium with hardware decoding (at least, for open source graphics), OpenSuse being the other. Fedora has been very strict and and doesn't support H.264 but it seems that it's not hard to work around that.
Ubuntu users can access gpu decoding via a PPA , perhaps now after Fedora's lead the Ubuntu Chromium devs will take that work and make it official. Probably all Ubuntu users here know about it, but just in case: https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+.../chromium-beta

Definitely not a coincidence then.
Just two days ago I performed a new Chromium build based off the instructions on the Chromium developer wiki and get a very strange error about the build system not being able to find Java. The build failed at a mojo component.
Downloaded Oracle JDK 11 and managed to complete the build successfully.
So apparently Mojo and its components have a build-time dependency on Java. At least, my limited testing shows that Java is not a runtime dependency.
My next step (when I'm not too lazy) will be to compile OpenJDK 11 from Oracle JDK 10 and see if OpenJDK can be used to satisfy Chromium's new build-time dependency.Last edited by Sonadow; 08 January 2019, 10:36 PM.

Phoronix: Chrome 73 Enabling The Mojo Video Decoders For Linux
The upcoming Chrome 72 release enables the "Mojo Video Decoders" by default on Windows while that milestone is set to be realized for Linux systems with the following Chrome 73 web-browser update...
