With both of them it does not work here (tried F22 and Rawhide),
unless you installed h264 decoder, it should not work, YouTube service
HTML5 videos as VP9, VP8, or mp4, you can see by right clicking the
video then click "Stats For Nerds", can you please tell us what is
working for you.

I think Konq does not support any free video codec (VP9 or VP8),
Firefox supports BOTH (but now YouTube only runs VP8 on Firefox
because Google wants 'Media Sources Extensions' available to run VP9,
and MSE support in Firefox is still experimental)
