It wasn't killed off. Support was removed from Chrome, for what appears to be rather spurious reasons, but practically everyone else are busy implementing it.

Sadly removing support from Chrome is effectively the same as killing it off. And the reason is Google wants people to use webp instead.

Not really? Chrome dropped support but Google is actually supporting the JPEG-XL rust port that Firefox is waiting on.

While I'm not the biggest fan of WebP, using generation loss as a metric wouldn't be an indicator of a real world scenario. I can't think of any actual instance where an image needs to be re-encoded, say, 10 times, let alone 100+ times.

What do you think happens to images shared and re-shared between people online?

> killed off

my guesswork is that JPEG XL will likely outlive Chrome by 100+ years
