I was wondering what image formats (aside from the basic JPEG, GIF, PNG) the major browsers would support, especially Chrome, Firefox, and Webkit. If anyone can provide a link to a list somewhere (that is updated frequently to cope with the frequent updates recently) that would be great. Support for other formats (like document and video) would also be nice.

I feel like this information should be listed somewhere, but I didn't find any such thing when I searched.
