What is the difference betwen rpmfusion's chromium-vaapi and Fedora's chromium build since they integrated vaapi patches?

It was reported that Fedora now builds chromium with vaapi patches. I installed fedora's chromium and got accelerated video decoding working.

What are the differences/advantages, if any, still remaining with this repo compared to Fedora's build?

@sheepdestroyer I was intended to discontinue chromium-vaapi build after Fedora chromium's got vaapi however people requested me to keep maintaining it.

• Much faster updates than Fedora
• Fedora's chromium uses a hack to separate the legal video codecs out and this hack causes the browser to become slow(if you're using HDD). Also upstream doesn't support this.
• Separating this cause the browser to break down into individual components. So GSSAPI requests crashes the browser and there is no way to fix it. (There is a bug report)
• RPMFusion's chromium uses clang instead of GCC which Fedora's chromium uses.

These are few basic differences.
