I don't see any downsides with Jpegli. Your Linux distro admin exchanges the lib for you, you never need to think about it, only get smaller and more beautiful files. If you use commercial software (Apple, Adobe, mobile phone cameras, Microsoft, ...) hopefully they migrate by themselves.

If they don't, literally nothing happens.

I fail to see a major downside. Perhaps open up your thinking on this?

Yes, Chrome published data.

People said the same thing last time and it took more than 10 years until decoding worked reliably. I'm simply not interested in dealing with another JPEG++.

Nah, I'm fine. I went JXL-only for anything new I'm publishing, and if people need to switch browsers to see it – so be it.

It's not a new JPEG++. It creates old JPEGs, fully 100% compatible.

(Of course JXL is better still.)

This makes your website only viewable on Safari (and by extension Apple devices) only, right?
