Never thought I'd see MP3 as a free, open standard. Will Safari drop support for it now?

  You jest, but you do realise native Opus support was added to iOS11 and macOS 10.13 right?

    That’s pretty awesome. Do you perhaps have any link to more info about this?

        Neat! This seems like a very promising development.

    In standalone files, though? Or just in WebRTC?

      https://webkit.org/blog/7726/announcing-webrtc-and-media-capture/ https://webkit.org/blog/7726/announcing-webrtc-and-media-cap... only talks about WebRTC, but according to https://hetzel.net/2017-06-12/ios-11-opus-support-in-podcast-feeds/ https://hetzel.net/2017-06-12/ios-11-opus-support-in-podcast... > iOS 11 comes with native playback support for the Opus audio codec inside the CAF container. > In Beta 1, there is no support for playing Opus in CAF files in Safari, but… > Podcasts.app supports Opus playback, if you claim the file is AAC, although it’s CAF containing Opus.

        So, it doesn't support Opus in its native container format, but you could potentially do some JS trickery. Hmm :/
