However, work did not get underway until last September and its final release coincides with Firefox 51 getting the feature later this month.įrom an OS-level, Windows 10 and apps that take advantage of system APIs for audio decoding have native support for FLAC. Support for FLAC in Chrome has been requested since 2011 with momentum gaining in 2015. When released, it will bring support for the FLAC audio codec directly in the browser. This will provide a quick way to play those files, with the Mac being the biggest platform to benefit due to a lack of native support. Chrome 56 is currently in the beta channel and should hit stable in about a week.
