    Firefox doesn’t implement the AudioData API, which is probably necessary for the waveform viewer and cropping tool Discord presents in the soundboard management UI.

    Not everything is about Chrome DRM yall.

      Thank fucking people like you. The average Lemmy user just knows everything.

      I have seen so many Lemmy users think they are better than Reddit users. Truth is, you are all fucking ass holes you are just different kinds of ass holes.

      None of us agree with Google’s choices but for fucks sake not everything is because Google chose it.

      Sometimes it’s just in the damn browser. Like fuck off.

      I use Chrome and Firefox and have two different online personas with both.

        If you clicked the link. It says experimental technology. It’s not mozilla’s fault Chrome is adding features that are not standard. Sites like Discord for utilizing non standard API’s.

        Because Firefox is like a democracy, they prioritize work based on number of votes on issues/feature requests. The AudioEncoder API has literally just one vote, and the overall WebCodecs API that it’s a part of only has five votes. This shows that there’s very little demand for it, meaning very few sites actually use this (that or the vast majority of Firefox users don’t use/need this feature). Why bother focusing your efforts on implementing something that most users don’t care about? The higher priority things that most Firefox users care about is stuff like performance, and Mozilla have been making some good progress too on that front.

          The thing isn’t only about votes. Both APIs are top priority but there are blocked and depends on other stuff that also needs to be fixed or implemented.

            AudioEncoder (bug 1749046) doesn’t really have any dependencies or blockers, as far as I can tell. If there are, then you (or whoever has access) should update Bugzilla and add the dependency there.

              Honestly, I found bugzilla hard to read, so I am not sure but it looks like the WebCodecs API needs to be implemented first. And that one has a bunch of other stuff, I think.

      It appears the Reddit users that don’t read further than the title have arrived on Lemmy.

      Yet another experimental API only supported by Chrome. Chrome has always been like this, implementing experimental API that hasn’t been finalized yet. You might say they’re innovating to support new technologies, but actually it’s more like they’re doing whatever they pleased, as demonstrated by their removal of jpeg xl support despite web communities plea not to do so (a new more efficient image compression, but not made by Google so screw it), pushing manifest V3 and ad topics, and recent push for web environment integrity API.
