2023 and still no good epub reader for Windows. Such a shame Microsoft removed it from Edge.
Try Thorium. Still a work in progress, but they are trying to be up-to-date on standards compliance, which puts them ahead of a lot of reading systems. The UI is decent.

(you'd think maintaining an epub extension for a web browser wouldn't be that much of a stretch, considering that epubs are built on web tech, but who knows why they cut that.)

KDE's okular might be a good choice. I haven't personally used it for epub but I know it supports it.

Okular's epub rendering is awful. Nearly any other option will look better.
Is there a good alternative one for Mac? The built in one severely cripples copy and paste. Makes copying recipes over into my recipe storage app a massive pain.
This page is a bit light on details, but it sounds like the main improvements are:

Massive refactoring and simplification of overlapping sub-specs

Support for webp and opus

Accessibility improvements including EU compliance (not sure if that's referring to the updated format or the text of the spec itself)
