Webm supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks inside its RIFF container structure, why the hell arent browsers supporting it??? (sh.itjust.works)

I mean, you can write a plugin to support arbitrary subtitle format.

I was meaning NPAPI plugins, to replace the whole video player element. I don't think any modern browsers still support it, but it's a bit funny that VLC's installer on Windows still offers installing its plugin
