jpeg xl is also now used for the latest version of the DNG raw image format, and the iphone now encodes raw images as jpeg xl in DNG. It's so clearly the future for photography that Google is holding back. Apple surprisingly has been the first with full support everywhere in their OSs and in Safari.

Safari is currently lacking animation and progressive decoding - still ahead of everyone else currently.

Looks like by the end of the year we can expect Chrome and Firefox support.

I just wanted to add the decision for JXL inside DNG was well known even before it happened and Chrome still said no. Adobe and Intel along with plenty of other players in the industry screams this is so good they are all adding support. But still Google said no.

And to make matter worst the publish the worst comparison document and benchmarks for AVIF against JXL.
