Isn't It Time for AVIF Everywhere?

Hosting providers, platforms, and phone makers should adopt AVIF and AV2 more widely, the author argues. Hetzner raised prices multiple times in 2026 citing rising hardware costs, partly driven by AI demand.

YouTube is preparing to move from AV1 to AV2 as early as 2027. The author also wants better native support for Apple's HEIC format alongside AVIF, and suggests users encode AVIF locally before uploading to ease server load.

The fix uses real button elements with Enter and Space support, keeps focus on the activated control, and announces changes via a role='status' message. The piece recommends writing explicit acceptance criteria, like keyboard and screen reader behavior, into AI prompts and running manual keyboard tests afterward.
