WebCodecs is missing. They say it's "worth prototyping" [1] but I don't know whether they are working on it.

Stuff like that and late AV1[0] are one reason I moved to Edge after 19 years on Firefox. More so just that I was impressed with Edge when I tried it. Brave also stood out to me when I tested every browser. It’s fast but has the distinction of being the only semi-major browser that’s fully open source other than Firefox. Edge is still very good, I would say it’s the best browser going but I’d be tarred and feathered for that.

I think using Chrome or Edge for PWAs and Firefox for general browsing is an acceptable compromise. I don't need to use the same program for video editing and reading news articles etc, although it would be nice if I could.

As I understand it, Web Codecs is quite a ways away from being a web standard - it is currently just a draft[1] for a recommendation for a possible future standard.

Just beware of any major API changes or any indication that it might be dropped in its entirety!
