Description
What type of issue is this?
Missing compatibility data
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
Currently, HTMLMediaElement#playbackRate is listed as "Limited availability" despite universal browser support since 2015, because most browsers don't currently allow setting a negative value (i.e. specifying that the media should be played backwards). However, playing backwards seems like a fairly niche use case, versus the much more common use case of setting the speed.
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
Chromium (Chrome, Edge 79+, Opera, Samsung Internet), Legacy Edge (12-18), Firefox
What did you expect to see?
Probably should be baseline widely available, with a secondary entry in the support table for setting negative values.
Did you test this? If so, how?
N/A
