<embed type="video/webm" src="/media/cc0-videos/flower.mp4" width="250" height="200" />

No response

Do you have anything more you want to share?

By the way, this is the second page in turn that I'm submitting the same kind of bug report about. The first one was for the page regarding the <object> tag.

This makes me think that this

  • either is not a bug (maybe MP4 files can be of the MIME type video/webm, but a quick Brave search for "mp4 webm" does not make that likely)

  • or could be a bug that is also affecting other pages than <object> and <embed>.
