Describe the bug

The video player freezes infallibly after 1 second of playtime. The bug is reproducible in the corresponding Chromium versions, and is also reproducible on Bromite versions .100, .94. Downgrading to version 78.0.3904.130 fixes the issue.

Expected behavior

Watch the video start normally and freeze after 1 second of playtime. Notice that the video continues preloading and that in this specific case (Vimeo) the video restarts automatically and freezes again after 1 second. On other websites (e. g. Facebook, YT, etc.) the video simply stops playing.
