    <p> Big news this week: a wild new image format appears! And, as
    <a href="https://jakearchibald.com/2020/avif-has-landed/">Jake
    Archibald writes</a>, it’s called AVIF and it just launched
    in Chrome, so you can use it today with the help of the
    picture element: </p>
    <p>Β </p>
    <p>AVIF is a new image format derived from the keyframes of <a
    href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1">AV1 video</a>. It's
    a royalty-free format, and it's already supported in Chrome 85
    on desktop. Android support will be added soon, Firefox is <a
    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=avif">working
    on an implementation</a>, and although it took Safari 10
    years to add WebP support, I don't think we'll see the same
    delay here, as Apple are a member of the group that created
    AV1.</p>

    It's an image file, like a BMP.

    Sample files here for test.

    Grab at least one file, for later reference. It might be a
    while before you can view it (and your browser will likely
    be SOL).

    Seems pretty pointless.
