Do you remove ~/.cache/chromium before trying new versions?

I read everywhere that chromium does not include h.264.. I will try to
check that, but in no way you should disable Native API, Native apps
are packaged in a way that it should be simple to not include the one
you do not want, so it is better to not include nexe responsible for
h.264 in rpm than disabling native Apps.
