  Or you can use YouTube with a browser which uses Dav1d like Firefox. An AV1 example at 1080p50: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhXtJWi2PjI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhXtJWi2PjI You can verify if YouTube videos are playing back in AV1 by right clicking on the video and choosing Stats for Nerds. The codec is av01 for AV1 video.

    > Or you can use YouTube with a browser which uses Dav1d like Firefox. I'm using Chrome on macOS, which seemingly supports this as well: Codecs av01.0.08M.08 (398) / opus (251) What decoder is Chrome using?

      dav1d on macOS; you can actually find this out by going to `chrome://media-internals`, and looking at the field `kVideoDecoderName`

    My completely unscientific anecdote. i7 6600k, opened the link, Chrome CPU went from < 1%->14% which is similar to VP9 decoding. I know so little about this space so not sure how helpful the comparison is, but it is like magic what we are able to do with math.

    Apparently this is using hardware AV1 decode on my 11700K. No significant CPU utilization.
