A format which cannot deliver quality is not state of the art. Opus is the Internet Explorer 6 of musical and video formats.

Opus is an audio format, not a video format. Opus is better than MP3. Wouldn't MP3 actually be the Internet Explorer 6 of audio formats?

What on earh are you talking about? For lossy formats, there is currently nothing better than opus in actual use.

Are you mixing up Opus with something else? By many metrics, it is better at delivering quality than just about any other lossy audio codec.
