Chromium MPRIS support

Chromium is listed as a "Supported MPRIS client" in the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MPRIS

Not sure if this is a regression or there's a problem with my system, but Chromium, Ungoogled-chromium, and Brave all seem to have a broken MPRIS support.

$ chromium 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyPR77rg1to' && sleep 3 && playerctl -l
No players found

But Firefox works:

$ firefox 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyPR77rg1to' && sleep 3 && playerctl -l
firefox.instance_1_152

Re: Chromium MPRIS support

Neither of the above works for me unless the browser is already open and the YouTube video is already playing.
