As far as i know, Chromium uses a new video decoding backend. If chrome://media-internals is showing MojoVideoDecoder as VideoDecoder it's using VA-API. Otherwise it falls back to FFMpegVideoDecoder or VPXVideoDecoder.

With the latest snap from candidate/vaapi (73.0.3683.86 REV-686) media-internals show that it's using MojoVideoDecoder. CPU-Usage around 10$ - 15% on an i3 Broadwell and HD5500-Graphics. Video Decode under chrome://gpu is also showing "Hardware accelerated"
