The browser presents problems when it comes to playing videos on portals such as YouTube, Vimeo and others.

The underlying problem here is missing codecs. If Midori is installed from your distro's archive eg. Debian package you need to install the relevant gstreamer packages.

Ideally the package depends on the necessary codecs - we could try and fail the build if codecs are missing
An infobar could be shown prompting you to install missing packages similar to what some video players do

Note that the snap is unaffected by this because it includes the codecs by design.

Of course I understand, when seeing this the end user, the I think this is still in development and it is not yet good for the users we advance it is something simple but for the normal users no.
