The AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is a specification for storing images or image sequences compressed with AV1 in the HEIF file format.
It competes with HEIC which uses the same container format, build upon ISOBMFF, but HEVC for compression.

...I'm clearly not technologically savvy enough to know what the hell this means for average users.

Understandable. Have a nice day.

That's stupid. Might as well use jpg - same shit, but works for everyone.

@Leewelo chrome canary and firefox under a flag, read the damn page https://caniuse.com/#feat=avif

@Rugid better compression techniques then jpg, smaller files. all around better than jpg. lossy compression can be fine if done right. TBH id much prefer jxl, but thats not gonna be anytime soon if at all...

Tried changing servers. Wouldn't show on Brave.

Oh, another format attempting to replace JPEG. Nice.

@Amaranx
...Or you could use png-8, like a sane person.

Firefox Developer Edition 80.0b2, image did not load

 

[TrapsAreBetterThanGirls]

Firefox on android.
Nope

 

[24element]

Safari on iPad
Does not work

 

[Amaranx]

Since this post uses the .png extension to get around MD's file type upload restriction, this only works with chrome canary which sniffs the MIME type (and only works sometimes apparently).
@AnacondaHL There is a closed issue on bugzillia that fixes this and is set to land in 81

either way rdn might patch the file type upload restriction and people cant use avif at all.

Turned on AVIF in firefox, no work, big gay.
