    Since the link in the article doesn't explain it-- is there some notable difference between an "animated image" using AV1 and an AV1 video file?

    The distinction made some difference in the past when tooling for GIFs and videos and flash were difference, and the viewing software (image vs media player) weren't cross compatible.

    But that line seems to have disappeared entirely.

        Let us warmly congratulate Mozilla for having just discovered fire, the greatest discovery in the history of mankind.

          Is some form of video decoding hardware acceleration enabled by default on Linux?

          I have a Intel HD 620 with Ubuntu Mate 23.04 and in about:support I see:

          HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING
          default available
          env blocklisted Blocklisted by gfxInfo
          EDIT: it looks like it's still disabled by default: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1777430

            And how about JPEG XL support? It supports animation, too. https://caniuse.com/jpegxl
            Compare with https://caniuse.com/?search=av1 which shows AV1 support and AVIF, but not AVIS.

              For those who want to know what the "scripting" CSS is: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...edia/scripting
              Long story short: being able to style element depending of if JS is available or not.

                  Thanks. The articles on Phoronix often lack some depth.

                  I assume it's about a site to look usable even in the case of JS being disabled.

                    With v113 I can now pop out a #shorts video on youtube to make it fullscreen, before this I couldn't do it. Btw I hate youtube #shorts.
