I might play with that in the future. However
- Opera 29 did not crash
- Chrome does not have a problem with ffmpeg (does not crash)
- crashes are not related to playing videos, for example, Gmail just crashed in the background...
I left Chrome because it's lack of support for hiDPI displays. But that is no longer a problem, so it seems to make sense to go back... it's more stable now, and does not have a problem with my remapped Caps-Lock key...
