Microsoft Edge (including latest versions) are not compatible with AV1 by default.

  • Under Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac or Linux, video file encoded in AV1cannot be played by Microsoft Edge.
  • Under Windows 10 and Windows 11, it is possible to play a video file encoded in AV1 with Microsoft Edge, only after installing the AV1 codec extension, available for free in the Microsoft Store.

It's crazy they don't ship it by default.. or how to make a codec pointless and force everyone to double storage space on datacenters (since they also do not support h265/266..)

Since Edge is available on macOS and Linux as well, I'm not sure if I agree with n d (sticking #1 on there is good in any case).

If it works on macOS and Linux out of the box, I'd argue for partial (=> a).

Tried it macOS and didn't work there either.
