Orion, and presumably other Webkit-based browsers that are actually up-to-date, can also see the image.

Hopefully my photo processor will accept JPEG XL in the near future!

Chromium 143 (the latest available in Void Linux, a rolling-release distro) still can't.

The chrome://flags/#enable-jxl-image-format is not even found in the build :(

Aren't print shops, machining shops, other small manufacturers etc. ones that always lag behind with emerging technologies?

Designers might also be hesitant to use an untested file format for print, too.

If there’s a large amount of paper that’s been purchased for a job, I definitely wouldn’t want to be the one who’s responsible for using JPEG XL and – for whatever reason – something going wrong.

Pixels are cheaper than paper or other physical media :)

Yes, because those systems cost gobs of money. You don't replace them just for the hot new thing.
Replace? Why bring that up?

The company that owns whatever system can and should be able to convert formats.

They request formats that their equipment handles. They're not in the business of converting a user's file type from one to another. That would be inconsistent from what the user sent.

Here's who I order from, you can see the particulars of what they request.

Their job is getting an image file into reality, not to be the absent owner of a big machine.

If the machine accepts some type of normal image file, then they can losslessly convert other file formats to that type. There is nothing inconsistent about that.

You're free to make such assumptions.
Yup, Gnome Web loads it just fine! Man, it really is a great browser. I try to switch to it every 6 months, but then I remember that it doesn't support extensions at all. I could give up everything, but not 1Password. Nothing is worth copy/pasting credentials and losing passkeys entirely.
Have you tried KeePassXL with SyncThing? I've heard good things about that setup.
For what purpose? While it's a perfectly good password manager, when used with Gnome Web it also means copy/pasting passwords and losing passkeys. Doesn't it?
When I commented that, I did not realize Gnome Web was a web browser (I'd never heard of it frankly), let alone a non-Firefox-based browser. Lol.
