Chrome quietly supports h265 decode as of version 107 https://chromestatus.com/feature/5186511939567616

What’s quiet about it? Seems like it was announced.

They didn’t exactly hide it but they certainly didn’t make a big deal about it. Likely because there is no software fallback

And because they don't want to advertise this support: they push their own codecs, hard.
