Safari is so behind in terms of lack of support for free media formats/codecs like webm, webp, and av1

Both WebM [1] and WebP [2] have been supported by Safari for nearly two years now.

WebKit added support for AVIF (essentially the single-frame version of AV1) back in September [3]; AV1 is expected during the iOS 16/macOS Ventura release cycle.
