   Nope doesn't find it as an image it seems.

   Even if there was no resizing or previews or anything available yet it would still be nice to at least see the current image in all supported browsers (which is any browser except Edge right now which will finally enable it in January).

   Starting with the next edge version if everything goes according to plan, every major browser will have avif support natively. So I guess the polyfill shouldn't be needed anymore.

   Is there any update on this?
   All Major browsers seem to support AVIF now and there is even an open PR adding the required support here: #1973
