Do you know if Safari will ever support one of the newer formats?

  WebKit already supports AVIF directly, but Safari disables that and relies on macOS’s image decoders, which currently don’t.[1] I imagine it’ll arrive at some point. [1] https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207750#c25 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207750#c25

    Running Epiphany (WebKit2) on Linux. But it seem like not turned ON up until now? https://libre-software.net/avif-test/ https://libre-software.net/avif-test/

    Hopefully. Safari is the new IE, that's for sure.

      You can add Edge to that pile too, because even though Chromium supports AVIF Microsoft intentionally disable it.

        That's insignificant compared to the list of things safari does differently. And apple doesn't give ios uses any choice. You are stuck dealing with those differences.

          > And apple doesn't give ios uses any choice. You are stuck dealing with those differences. Yeah, that's by far the worst part. Imagine being stuck with IE indefinitely. :) https://www.coywolf.news/webmaster/why-webkit-supports-avif-but-safari-does-not/ https://www.coywolf.news/webmaster/why-webkit-supports-avif-...
