mozilla didn't remove their jxl support? It's behind a feature flag, like it always has been, but that doesn't mean they will get rid of it or never unflag it.

Exactly, it's not enabled either and there's no plans to. Neither for Edge.
it is implemented, it's just not released. if there's no plans, why did they add the feature flag to begin with?
Same reason Chrome did.

Chrome team themselves quoted no interest of those browsers as the reason for removal of the flagged code. Seems like an obvious way to pressure Google into supporing JXL would be to get Mozilla to launch their support, together with Edge and Safari?

but you do understand the difference between getting mad about a hypothetical situation vs something that actually happened, right?
