Oldie goodie article with charts, comparing webp, jpegxl, avif, jpeg etc. avif is SLOW
- https://github.com/libjxl/jxl-rs jxl-rs is the underlying implementation. It's relatively new but Rust certainly calms security fears. This library wasn't really an option last time this came around in chromium.
- I’ve recently compared WebP and AVIF with the reference encoders (and rav1e for lossy AVIF), and for similar quality, WebP is almost instant while AVIF takes more than 20 seconds (1MP image).
JXL is not yet widely supported, so I cannot really use it (videogame maps), but I hope its performance is similar to WebP with better quality, for the future.
- It's a shame that JpegXL doesn't have a freely available spec.

- From my (limited) understanding, there is still a lot shared between JPEG and JPEG-XL.
I wonder if this new implementation could be extended to incorporate support for the older JPEG format and if then total code size could be reduced.
- So is this another image format I'll download and be unable to use without converting because nothing supports it a la .webp?

- Why does the current design paradigm in image coding formats emphasise supporting as many features as possible in order to have “one image format to rule them all”? You do not see this in audio and does anybody think that Opus and FLAC should be combined into one format? Does the fact that Opus does not support lossless encoding make it worse?
- I've been hearing about fights over JpegXL and WebP (and AVIF?) for years, but don't know much about it.
From a quick look at various "benchmarks" JpegXL seems just be flat out better than WebP in both compression speed and size, why has there been such reluctance from Chromium to adopt it? Are there WebP benefits I'm missing?
My only experience with WebP has been downloading what is nominally a `.png` file but then being told "WebP is not supported" by some software when I try to open it.
- Thanks, but just like WEBP I'll try to stick to regular JPEGs whenever possible. Not all programs I use accept these formats, and for a common user JPEG + PNG should mostly cover all needs. Maybe add GIF to the list for simple animations, while more complex ones can be videos instead of images.

- Reading the feature list of JpegXL on Wiki, it includes some interesting stuff like arbitrary numbers of channels for multi-spectral imaging and multi page documents, which for both better and worse starts to sound a lot like TIFF.

- Anyone knows if their implementation supports animations? This is a feature missing from Apple's

- Unfortunately, with Chromium dropping support for manifest-v2 extensions, and through that dropping proper support for uBlock Origin, I'm moving away from it. Not that that's easy, of course...
