I didn’t know that was something that’s been available in Chrome. Also not entirely sure what I would use it for since I’ve mostly seen it with rips of Blu-ray movies and shows, never smaller files. I thought its main advantage was holding multiple video, audio, and data streams.
It’s highly popular in the anime scene for its ability to contain original audio and dubs and a few subtitle tracks, including custom fonts for some of the subtitle formats that are feeling particularly special.

WebM shows that Matroska is excellent for streaming. It’s the same container, WebM just mandates a set of codecs (just as MP4 as an offshoot of MOV can theoretically hold non-MPEG codecs but nobody supports this in the real world). With formal Matroska support, something like combining a HEVC video track with an Opus audio would be possible.

Not that firefox actually supports any of those advanced sub formats lol (I’d be surprised if chrome did either though tbh)
Absolutely true. But it’s relatively easy, I assume, given that webm is just a subset of mkv anyway, and why not!

Could firefox directly receive from multicast, an mkv video stream with low latency ? (like sub 100ms ?)
I think this is a bit more involved than extended file format support.
