@magikgimp Vivaldi is also not using hardware acceleration for videos.

Both Vivaldi and Opera (regular, haven't looked at GX yet) are using hardware acceleration. The boxes / sliders are ticked / on. Vivaldi is a brand new install in fact. I can post screenshot if you don't believe me!
Does it make a difference if you run the ://gpu output before and after watching a video? Do the black screens suggest a crash?
ignore-gpu-blocklist didn't change anything BTW. It's not a particularly exotic card anyway I don't think.
Another new install: Brave (no black screens, report made after watching YouTube video.) -

@magikgimp Hardware acceleration may be available and enabled but it's nothing being used according to opera://gpu info.
When playing a video, open opera://media-internals and check what it says about video decoder.

opera://media-internals
Also, I forgot to mention earlier that in Opera the Default for Choose ANGLE graphics backend is listed as "Default [Undefined]" which is not how it is on other browsers. Don't know if that's an issue too at all. -

@magikgimp Shouldn't be. What's is selected in other browsers? What happens if you use the same in Opera?

@magikgimp Right, according to the media-internals info, hardware acceleration is being used.

Opera
Opera GX
Edge
SlimJet
And in case I misunderstood you it's D3D11 in Opera because I was testing whether it was working again and it's implied that "Default" is D3D11 and it's D3D9 in GX because that still works without black screens (although possibly impaired performance?) All other browsers haven't had their settings fiddled with.
