#3Am I the only one that doesn't like anything that Dolby has been near? Sounds 'wrong'.

#4Whenever 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?

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).
