- bredren 7y agoThere is also still generally more broadly supported preview rendering of gif vs newer formats. Also probably more addressable / available tools for anim gif creation.

- coribuci 7y ago> Then your browser should have an option to mute-embedded-video-by-default. Problem solved. I think you don't understand the modern web. If something is crappy the user shall have it. JS was always considered crappy but now is the best new thing. And you also missed tbe latest web/UI/UX development. From the web designer point of view the user is an idiot which must be punished for every attempt to customize something. > Don't blame a web video format/standard for UI failures. They are not UI failures. They are done on purpose.
