@leocg For Vivaldi, Ruari initially wrote a script to fetch libffmpeg.so. Now, it's kind of integrated into Vivaldi. As in, Vivaldi automatically fetches the correct libffmpeg.so. As for the source of that libffmpeg.so, I'm, not sure who compiles it and who hosts it etc.
As for the legality of that, not sure. I don't know if it was reviewed by Vivaldi's lawyers etc. or if they just do it and figure it's okay since Vivaldi isn't bundling it and only fetching it, so maybe that's considered okay.
As for Opera, I can only assume that they reviewed that idea and consider it too risky.
As for Firefox, I don't know, but I assume they use x.264 or something on the system.
As for Brave, don't know, but I think they might just bundle a libffmpeg with full media support. They might have a license or permission to do so or just do it anyway. Edge might do the same where they have a license.
