AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec [1] from the Alliance
for Open Media [2]. AV1 support shipped in release 55 [3] and is currently
supported in Chrome, but not Safari. There is an open issue for AVIF
support in Chrome [4].

Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=avif

Standard: https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/

Platform coverage: All

Restricted to secure contexts: No. There's currently no mechanism to
enforce this for image formats, but we can revisit this before enabling
this by default. The same goes for CORS.

Target Release: 76

Preference behind which this will be implemented: image.avif.enabled,
turned off by default.
