Neither Firefox nor Chrome support H.265 hw-accelerated decoding, and I don't want to use Edge. Using the app is a guarantee that I don't have to worry about the codec compatibility. I know it's an "Electron app so basically browser", but it's not, everything just works in the official Desktop app.

Chrome only has hardware decoding. Has done for a year.

Firefox is the only browser that won't play HEVC. Now AV1 is here, I guess we'll all move everything to that.
