Although this thread is about AVIF (the image format based on AV1) it claims that Edge is not supported due to licensing issues:

I bet the same licensing issues are also holding back AV1 on edge.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoYet no information on what the licensing issue is... This is ridiculous.

- thomastjeffery 3y agoI don't accept the vague claim of "patent trolls" as enough for Microsoft to bar support of AV1 in Edge. This is extra bad when you consider what Microsoft does to pressure people into using Edge, despite Edge itself being literally Chromium with features disabled.
