GStreamer is designed the way that you don't care in your software which decoder sinks are available during runtime. You always use the GStreamer API.
That's why Firefox just works for MP3 and H264 once the corresponding gstreamer modules are installed on a system.
Yeah, but in these cases you are higly depend of the development of these projects. Just an example: GStreamer and Firefox don't support VP9 yet, while Chromium supports it already. But the use of GStreamer can have its advantages: you can get hardware decode for videos, which Chromium doesn't support in Linux yet.
