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.)
