@ipg Good to remember that the next time Google does an "embrace and extend" strategy on open standards.
@tchambers @ipg this is one of the reasons I’m have problems with their codecs, eg. VP9

@janantos @tchambers @ipg Precisely! That is why I have WebP, WebM and VP9 disabled in Firefox and refuse to use them. If it is controlled by Google, it doesn't matter if it's opensource or royalty free — sure, you can fork it, but everyone will still use their implementation. Just yesterday I was reading how they are trying to get rid of JPEG XL on the grounds that there is no demand for it, looks like there is, them having no control over it seems to be the real reason: https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/07/apple_safari_jpeg_xl/
@m0xee @tchambers @ipg would be great if the EU commission will deal with it, as this is from my perspective misuse of dominant position on market.
