HTML5 “proprietary” audio and video includes all media types that are patented, such H.264 (video) and AAC (audio).

well it seems that this has to do with the (quick-) - bookmark menu that shows in linux not the full images of the bookmarked pages - but does so on windows!?!

any idea to fix this - and to get rid of the HTML5 “proprietary” issue !?

@steelie Didn't understand a single word of it, maybe you want to rephrase.

That is known as the Speeddial page.
It is a selection of bookmarks, and the images are just thumbnails(pictrures) - they are nothing to do with HTML5 media(videos).

The thumbnails are updated when you visit the bookmarked page, or if you hover over the image on the Speedial page and click the reload icon (in the bottom right of the thumbnail).

Alternatively, you may use a customized picture, have a look at this thread https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/17568/i-made-a-huge-thumbnail-pack
