--- Comment #3 from freedesktop at maximbaz.com ---
This bug also affects Chromium compiled with VA-API patch to use hardware video
acceleration. We have at least 6 people using ArchLinux confirming this so far.

Chromium sometimes just renders videos as a black rectangle, sometimes freezes
entirely, and once even crashed X.

Someone reported, that reverting the same change as @alim mention fixes the
issue.

Non-exhaustive list of affected Intel CPUs: i7-6500U, i7-7500U, i7-7820HQ.

If this can't / shouldn't be reverted, is there a way to compile Chromium in a
different way so that we don't experience this issue?

How we compile Chromium with VA-API today:

I'll ask affected people to CC to this bug, so you can better see the number of
affected people.
