[Leon Behringer]

Package: chromium
Version: 64.0.3282.119-2+b2
Severity: normal

VP9 is available in Chrome and Firefox but not in Chromium neither in testing nor in unstable. This can be checked using https://html5test.com/ or the YouTube Stats for nerds. This was verified in a fresh Debian Testing VM.
