Safari is currently lacking animation and progressive decoding - still ahead of everyone else currently. Looks like by the end of the year we can expect Chrome and Firefox support.

Google Research was central in developing and continuing to push JPEG XL. The Google Chrome folks are the ones who decided to disallow it. You could argue that they are trying to kill it, but certainly not Google at large.

Lots of people are using AV1. They just don't know it.

I believe MacOS has full support. Windows now has support available as a free installable plugin. Mozilla said that the current decoder state was unacceptable but if Google Research wrote them a Rust version that met their shippable criteri

Goodly amount of static here - unclear to me how much of it is added and how much is original. https://www.my80stv.com/

I think you're thinking of Firefox.

None that I'm aware of but Firefox has committed to maintaining the more powerful MV2 content blocking APIs that Google is removing.

In my experience, most of the time black drawing like that is associated with GPU driver issues.

I'm probably not as technical as the average HN commenter so maybe you can fill me in... I've had personal computers for years and none of them have been on corporate networks so I don't see how MS should care about me in tha

Qualcomm is no supporter of AV1 so they shouldn't have been included in that list. That being said, there's plenty of other hardware makers and licensors in the Alliance.

This movie is available on Amazon Prime. It's not bad, but my recommendation is to go into it with the expectation of a Black Mirror episode rather than something you might pay to see in the cinema.
