This websites works on Pale Moon but not Chromium! (at least for me)

General project discussion.
Use this as a last resort if your topic does not fit in any of the other boards but it still on-topic.
Forum rules
This General Discussion board is meant for topics that are still relevant to Pale Moon, web browsers, browser tech, UXP applications, and related, but don't have a more fitting board available.

Please stick to the relevance of this forum here, which focuses on everything around the Pale Moon project and its user community. "Random" subjects don't belong here, and should be posted in the Off-Topic board.

Okay, this is a first. I came across this here. The images on this website loads perfectly for me on Pale Moon, but don't on Chromium.

The images are jpegxl format, which Pale Moon and Basilisk have fully supported for well over a year, but chromium just recently announced they are going to begin supporting.

Pale Moon can do lots of things that chromium browsers cannot do.

Their CDN seems to serve various formats; JPEG, JXL, PNG, AVIF, WEBP. Link opening one image in one browser may not open the same image in another browser, so I suppose some negotiation bug was encountered.

FWIW, Thorium has JPEG-XL support compiled in. Stock Chromium used to have it for brief period few years ago behind a flag.

Firefox has it compiled in release build (but disabled by default) since version 152 and some forks have had it before that. So it's getting to the point it won't be much of an exclusive feature anymore.

It wasn't about exclusivity. It was that Google tried and failed to kill browser support for jpegxl in general. David defeated Goliath, so to say.
