What you're looking for is the AV1 codec, which finalized a year and a half ago and will likely see much wider adoption, simply because none of the members want to pay royalties. https://aomedia.org/av1/ https://aomedia.org/av1/ https://aomedia.org/membership/members/ https://aomedia.org/membership/members/ AV1 decoding has already been in Chrome and Firefox since at least a year ago.
