Firefox 51 To Support FLAC Audio Codec Anonymous 2016-09-05 08:20:31 Post No. [Report]

Beginning with the Firefox 51 web-browser release, FLAC audio will finally be supported natively.

Firefox is going to be the first major web-browser at long last to provide native support for the lossless FLAC audio codec. Per this thread, the support is ready and has landed in time for Firefox 51. FLAC support is integrated, including for HTML audio elements to utilize FLAC.

Great to see this finally happen but too bad Chrome doesn't yet support FLAC on the desktop and doesn't appear they are actively working on it. Microsoft's Edge also doesn't yet have native FLAC support.

Who cares? Nobody uses losless codecs online anyway. If you want losless audio then you usually download it anyway.

The Internet has not yet learned how to be lossless. And I think Mozilla is going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place.

It is not going to be the lossy place that it once was in the last decade. FLAC and png are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for the Internet to make. The Internet is now going into a lossless mode, and mp3fags will be resented because of our leading role.

But without that leading role, and without that transformation, the Internet will not survive
