Context: Even though Chromium has native support for AVIF, a very nice image format, Microsoft goes out of their way to remove it from Edge, which is a chromium fork. Jpeg XL (JXL) (not to be confused with Jpeg (JPG) or Jpeg 2000 (jpg2k) ) is another nice image format, which, IIRC, is only supported in Firefox.

    WebP cause small size, can be transparent, can be animated, can use either loseless and lossy compression. Also it pisses of many people which is funny to me.

      If you want to piss people off, support JPEG XL

      Every time you mention it, Google shills WebP supporters come out of the woodworks to do their song and dance!

        I’'m working on a website right now, trying to choose which image format to use. I think I’m gonna store both webp and AVIF versions on the server, and have Javascript figure out which format is best for the browser automatically (for images that have to be loaded with Javascript anyway).If I have time, I might even try detecting if JXL is supported via third-party extension and using that too.

          have Javascript figure out which format is best for the browser

          Please don’t- HTML has native image fallback functionality https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_picture.asp

          I don’t know if type=“image/jxl”> is the correct type but I’m halfway out the door right now, sorry! You may have to look that up :p

            Thanks for the info! I was already suspecting that this could be done without JS, just didn’t know how.
