What's the status on browser adoption of APNG? Last time I tried it (a couple years ago) it required a Chrome extension.

For reference: http://www.reddit.com/r/apng



The situation has probably worsened. Opera lost out-of-the-box APNG support with the switch to Webkit. Firefox has lost market share to Chrome on the desktop, and were never big in the (still growing) mobile market.

There is a simple Chrome extension that adds APNG support, but anything that is not installed by default is unlikely to be used by most users. 90% of Chrome users don't even install an ad blocker!

You say that like it's crazy.

I don't install an ad blocker because I don't mind sites earning money for their content.
