Update Information:

Update to Chromium 86. A few big things here: 1. Upstream has made hardware
accelerated video support (VAAPI) for Linux possible without patches. One key
difference is that the patchset used previously in Fedora enabled it by default
and upstream's approach disables it by default. To enable Hardware accelerated
video in chromium, open this link in chromium: chrome://flags/#enable-
accelerated-video-decode Be sure it is turned on. Note that not all GPUs are
supported. 2. All the security fixes you expect with a major release:
