FSF Slams Google over Dropping JPEG-XL in Chrome
This is worth looking at:<p><a href="https://caniuse.com/jpegxl" rel="nofollow">https://caniuse.com/jpegxl</a><p>Unless I'm misunderstanding that, no browser actually ever supported JPEG-XL without a flag (or at all on Safari's cases). No OS appears to have supported it natively either[0]. The reality is that formats have a chicken & egg problem. Normally Google deserves to get dunked on, but in this case, why is Google the scapegoat instead of the entire industry that didn't adopt it? Feels like there is a bigger issue with JPEG-XL's failure to launch, and they did more than some (Apple? Microsoft?).<p>[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL#Industry_support_and_adoption" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL#Industry_support_and_a...</a>
