Chrome 63 was released last year. And 64 in January.

To enable this feature use the chrome://flags/#enable-av1-decoder flag.
At this moment it's planing be enabled by default in Chrome v70. https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5729898442260480 |
So I guess the encoder will be usable enough in six weeks for youtube beta testing at least.
