    Except webp has worse compression, doesn’t support HDR and has a max colour depth of 8bpc. What makes JPEG-XL great is that it covers loads of use cases and is very future proof.

      Webp, on the other hand is “current-proof”. JXL’s biggest issue is getting adoption, not the technical aspects.

      The meme is right, chrome/ium support would do a lot to help adoption. But not even the mainline FF version has support (AFAIK).

        edit: the option doesn’t seem to actually enable support
        stable firefox has an option to support it, in about:config that is set to false by default
