Caniuse: Add data for AV1 supported browser?

[kuma]

Maybe it's to early to add, but I'll suggest anyway.
AV1 is a new encoder which specified by Alliance for Open Media.
AV1 stand for AOMedia Video 1.
Google, Microsoft and Mozilla are the member of the alliance, so probably their browser will be available with AV1.

Here is the spec:

I would love to see AV1 added, we can't have a open alternative to HEVC soon enough and every bit of awareness helps.

Firefox Nightly now supports the AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) codec. I think it's time to add the AV1 codec to CanIUse.

Apple just joined the AV1 alliance, making it likely Safari will support this in the future

Please add.

+1 (realized now that you actually need to say +1 and that voting on the top is not enough for the suggestion list)

Firefox issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1452683
Chromium issue: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=783519

+1
in that case

Edit: The suggestion list should update every hour, but we're still stuck at 2 points.

Supported in FFmpeg since FFmpeg/FFmpeg@0dc11d8bbd470db89fbc17b7434e992c9129b310.

Now in the official release: FFmpeg 4.0 "Wu"

AV1 Support through libaom

[foguetes]

I would love to see this added

[Slapbox]

Also interested to see this. It looks like Firefox and Chrome have both supported this since around November, 2017.

[est31]

@Slapbox note that the two AV1 copies are of different versions and thus incompatible to each other as the bitstream changed over history. There still hasn't been a hard freeze of the format yet, only a soft freeze.

Bitmovin has a new AV1 demo for Google Chrome Canary.

Facebook just released AV1 support in some use cases:

[Ugoku]

To sumarise:

• Firefox has it enabled behind a flag (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Experimental_features)
• Chrome supports it starting with version 67? Maybe Canary only?
• Can't find if it's supported in Safari or Edge yet, so I think the answer to that is "no"

Thanks for all the information, everyone!
