LD_PRELOAD was always necessary to make the cam work.
Yes, with 5.15.2 it worked (only) with LD_PRELOAD, with 5.15.3 even LD_PRELOAD doesn't help anymore (so currently I don't know any way how to make the cam be detected by Falkon).

Did a test with latest Google Chrome, seems to be the same as with Falkon (cam is not detected even when using LD_PRELOAD). I never used Google Chrome, so I unfortunately can't tell if it used to work on older Chrome versions.

With Chromium I can't test because it's only avaiable as a Snap or Flatpak where the LD_PRELOAD trick doesn't seem to be possible ( --> no way to use the cam in a snapped or flatpaked app).

On Firefox the cam still works when launching with LD_PRELOAD.
