Widevine DRM for Netflix. AV1 decoding and the SPA for YouTube.

On my Mac with Safari, Youtube uses VP9, even with 4k HDR material. Apple Silicon Macs have VP9 hardware decoding, so the load is very small.

I have never experienced audio stutter and delays like the upthread commenter claims.

Apple's M3 has AV1 hardware decoding, so I imagine that shouldn't be a massive issue in the future.
