Why doesn't 4chan support these common codecs?

webp when though?

>>60089579
because yotsuba is shitty
(this would have been added ages ago, if only the SAUCE CODE was free, along with many other features and overall improvement)

That or the developers don't want to add it for whatever reason.

>>60089579
Because the new moot is fucking useless. Even 2chan.net supports VP9 now.

>>60089579
shit thread

because 4chan stopped getting better once nuMoot took over
>>60089975
No, it's a legitimate issue.

>>60090622
moot stop caring a couple of years before quitting

can't blame him, anons can be annoying as fuck

>>60089695
>many other features
Just what everyone wants useless crap forced on them by retarded developers.

>>60089579
Blame software patents and broken ABI compatibility between versions in VP9, not gook moot.

this
it's not really a problem with 4chan though, but moreso that the bottom 5% of people ruin the top 40's fun

>>60090649
is it really that complicated?

>>60090638
This

>is it really that complicated?

>why can't I use XYZ video / audio codecs
Patent encumbered or lack of integral to the browser support.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_LA

This is why VP8 is used AT ALL.

>why can't I use VP9
Unstable ABI.
