Seems google has finally accepted jpegxl as the future.
Moonchild if your watching, I cannot wait to see what you think about this.
I wonder if you will get a kick out of it, since you have had jpegxl for so long built into your web browser.
I imagine mozilla will do the same if google is serious.

Re: JPEGXL info...
Sounds like Google made another big bet that most of the world would just roll over and adopt whatever technology Google selected, in this case AVIF.
Sometimes they win these big bets, sometimes they lose. It appears they may be on the way to losing this one. But, when you've got a few trillion dollars of other-people's-money to burn (and you can always get more), you can lose a few of those bets and survive just fine.

Re: JPEGXL info...
Still feels weird to see Apple and Adobe of all things being champions of the open web in this front... Really shows how disappointing Mozilla has been in doing the bare minimum of defending and upholding the open web. In retrospect I think they are more to blame than Google (which I must note is a very large corporation with many factions in it, and one of those factions which is the PIK team from Zurich is involved in JPEG-XL's development) for ignoring the patches that completes JPEG-XL support (animations, progressive decoding, color profiles, alpha transparency, HDR) listed in their metabug (they're still not merged to this day btw!), and therefore not letting JPEG-XL support be shipped (because it's currently so incomplete in Nightly). This inaction by Mozilla gave the Chrome team an excuse to ax its own JPEG-XL support leading to this unnecessary situation where we all had to evangelize so hard to prevent another JPEG XR situation (XR was a collaboration between JPEG and Microsoft for an image format replacing JPEG, PNG and GIF; killed by WebP).
Tired of creating stuff!

Re: JPEGXL info...
Meanwhile though, I am noticing a slight increase in websites only offering AVIF with no fallback. Nothing dramatic, but it is annoying. We've survived far worse.

If you notice it, report it to the webmasters (politely!). Each voice adding to the choir disfavouring the absolutely awful AVIF format helps!

Re: JPEGXL info...
The Pale Moon developers made the right call by sticking with JPEG-XL.
