Nope, they don't.

Is there any browser (not legacy Edge) which supports HEIF natively?

  Nope, like explained in the previous comments, no browser currently supports this, that's why website developers can't use this image format/container. it's more optimized and better but lack of support in browsers is the problem.
  Microsoft, by supporting this, can change it and be the first.
