The only browser I actually know of that _can_ support is otter-browser.org/ —a basically one-man effort to wrap the classic Opera/Presto UX on top of Qt-based web engines— and even then under the very specific conditions that the QtWebKit engine is used, with an environment variable set to enable support for “unsafe” formats (this, BTW, enables support for too).

the today has no champion. It's really as simple as that. The biggest competitor to Google in the user agent space ( ) has no backbone, and innovation/resistance is mostly left to small realities like the partially closed source @Vivaldi or the one-person project —that still depend on (or at best ) for the rendering part. This is dramatic. This is even worse than the browser wars of lore.

Why is it that and can leverage KIO to provide generic protocol access, and can leverage the extensive Qt image format support when using the QtWebKit engine to support more exotic formats (or the new standard), but neither nor nor offer comparable extensibility?
I'm sure somebody will try to make a claim about “security”, but I very strongly doubt that's anywhere close to the actual reason.
