There seems to be growing confusion about when, if ever, Edge is going to support AVIF. Would it be possible to add this as a status item please?

E.g., here, XuDong Peng-MSFT writes:

Unfortunately, currently Microsoft Edge does not support avif format files due to design

Well that doesn't make much sense because other Chromium browsers support it on Windows, and Firefox does too.

Elsewhere, people seem to be hallucinating non-existent flags:

Given that AVIF is supported by all other major browsers, could we please have some sort of official word on what's going on with it? Many thanks.

Update: I've got a thread on Mastodon going regarding this.

Seems like there is some progress...
Avif is working for me in Edge Canary (116.0.1917.0) on Windows 11 (22621.1848) 🎉

Fyrd pushed a commit to Fyrd/caniuse that referenced this issue Jun 28, 2023
* Add conditional support for AVIF in Edge Dev/Canary

MicrosoftEdge/Status#723

* Fixing avif requirements

After setting all flags and requirements, avif doesn't seem to work on Windows 10.
So far it looks like Windows 11 Moment 3 might be the requirement. Needs further verification though

* Add conditional support in notes instead

* remove trailing colon
