Up till now I'm pretty sure browsers can't access the hardware video decoders.
I have a Samsung Chromebook Plus (1st gen) with the same Rockchip RK3399.
It can play Youtube 1080p60 without a problem.
Up till now I have never seen the Pinebook Pro do that.
Not with the default Debian install and not with Manjaro 20.02 and both with Chromium and h264ify.
So far I have only seen that FFMPEG can access the hardware video decoders.
Browsers and VLC sadly not.
Sorry this might sound as a rant, but the RK3399 is capable of so much more than what we can currently access with the Pinebook Pro.
