Shame that Mozilla is giving in to Google. It just looks like a delaying tactic - they don't want JPEG-XL to become popular because once JPEG-XL reaches a particular threshold of adoption, other similar encoding formats won't be able to compete with it.

I agree on the “shame” part, also I do not get why it has to be yet another encode, there already is one Rust even, jxl-oxide. Why not take this one and expand it or improve it?…

On the delaying tactic, you might be right, I want to be cautiously optimistic =)
