†	Matroska is usually supported on most browsers IF you use the WebM mime type when you serve the file. Browsers will generally play any codec in a Matroska file that they support.
††	Google started work on VP10 in September of 2014. Later, after Google joined the Alliance for Open Media, they merged their work into what would become the AV1 codec. Daala and Thor were also merged into AV1 by Xiph and Cicso respectively.
