Title: AVIF/AV1 image support
Author: dflock

It would be great if dillo supported avif images. Here are some resources that might be useful when implementing:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVIF
- avif spec: https://aomediacodec.github.io/av1-avif/
- avif decode library: https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif
  - other options for decoding:
  - https://github.com/strukturag/libheif
  - https://sail.software/
- Recent pr for adding webp support: https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/commit/b9e801cb940b45cfd9a4cf95bf5af68b084156b4

I don't think so, at least not yet. Every time we add support for a new image
decoder, we increase the surface for new attacks. [Here][1] you can see that
only 0.4% of set of sites use AVIF.

I'll wait until it is more widely adopted.

Notice that this has nothing to do of how good or bad is AVIF as an image
format.
