Whenever I think of Dolby anything I think of that noise reduction filter they used for cassette tapes.

I think of cassette tape hiss.

Or I think of the hot mess that is movie audio standards and home theatre playback.

Not things I would want to associate with my innovative browser.

You don't want browsers to add features that you personally have an unscientific bias against?

Microsoft is trying real hard to make Edge successful. Competition really does wonders for innovation.

This isn't innovation. AC-3 is almost 20 years old, and wasn't very good even for the time (it was designed for high-bandwidth optical discs). Dolby Digital Plus is an extension whose primary purpose is to extend their patent licensing regime.

Innovation would have been using Opus (full disclosure: I'm one of the authors of Opus).

Am I the only one that doesn't like anything that Dolby has been near? Sounds 'wrong'.
