> I'm glad to here that, but what about support for Firefox on X11? Is it given up?

Hardware decoding is platform independent so it generally works under X11 as it's implemented as Bug 1616185. 
For whole playback chain see Bug 1610199 what's needed to be done fox X11.
I was closing this one as it refers to HW decode only, not the playback.
The overall video playback is tracked at Bug 1210726.

Bug description:
  The chromium team has done a great job to totally disable hardware
  decoding on Linux.

  Even ignoring the GPU blacklist does not enable GPU decoding.

  How ever the patch is quite simple and it's already working using this
  PPA ( using libVA ) :

  https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev

  the corresponding patch is here :

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/chromium-browser/chromium-
  browser.trusty.beta/view/head:/debian/patches/enable_vaapi_on_linux.diff

  that would be great if we could have this patch indefault Ubuntu
  chromium build, this situation is really sad right now, google use
  linux to make chromeOS so chromebook are really good at playing videos
  but GNU/Linux chromium is slow at doing it.
