If you require support for non-free multimedia formats like H.264 or AAC, or the ability to play DRM-protected media such as Netflix, Spotify, etc. it may be preferable to install the *chromium-freeworld* package from the https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/setup_rpmfusion/[RPM Fusion] repositories, as the necessary plug-ins are already built-in.
