[SOLVED]Midori browser not playing Youtube videos

Hi, Chrome or Firefox is eating too much of my old laptop resources, so I tried to install Midori, but when I want to watch youtube video, it says "Your browser can't play this video". Is there a way to fix it? Or if not, can you recommend me some other lightweight browser that can play youtube's videos? Thanks

I have a chromebook with Arch on it and I am using ungoogled chromium. It is a bit slow to start and has hardware acceleration off but youtube plays and pages load fairly quickly. I setup regular chromium first and installed all the extensions I need/want and then switch to the ungoogled version (you can't have both) and all the extensions still work.

gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good had those two already. gst-libav solved the problem. Thanks a lot
