Webm is supported on Safari/Webkit AFAIK (on iOS the audio codec is supported, not sure about the video one) https://webkit.org/blog/11648/new-webkit-features-in-safari-...

Safari and Webkit definitely support WebM, but it’s disabled on iOS, making it a bit useless. Of course, it’s enabled on macOS, where Apple has to compete with other browser vendors. This leads me to believe the parent article is on the right track.

I’ve heard Opus is supported, but not in Mkv (WebM) or Vorbis containers, making it a bit pointless.

Gah, I just reread this and realized the funny mistake I made: Ogg* containers. Not Vorbis. In case anyone is still reading this comment a day later.

I don't think the entire codec is supported, either. Last I checked, it's still missing features like WEBM alpha layers.
