while ungoogled-chromiun package definition now contains
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Don't arbitrarily restrict formats supported by system ffmpeg.
"proprietary_codecs=true"
"ffmpeg_branding=\"Chrome\""
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
does this conflicts with GNU FSDG?
Thanks!
Giovanni

As far as I understand, this lets Chromium use whatever codecs are
provided by the system ffmpeg. Restrictions in codecs are up to the
ffmpeg package, not Chromium.

I confirm this is how it works; and that it isn't an FSDG problem. The
source now mentions ";; Do not artifically restrict formats supported by
system ffmpeg.".
Closing.
Thanks for the report!
