A while ago Google removed JPEG XL support from Chrome. But recently Mozilla said their are considering a Rust implementation from the JPEG-XL team at Google Research, so maybe there's still hope for Chrome to start supporting it again. From my personal tests, it's my favorite new image format.
Here's a relevant video from 2kliksphilip that talks about how JPEG XL stacks up against competition, and how it's faring in the fight against AVIF and WEBP.

JPEG XL’s state-of-the-art progressive encoding and decoding supports saliency progression — face detail sent first, background detail later; and reordering — middle data sent first and the rest later. You’ll see an image sooner than with other formats.
Plus, I'll be honest, I don't see any difference in image quality, even when it seems it may be trying to show that there is a difference? So what's the downside?
I thought WebP and AVIF both (differingly distant) hailed from WebM, which is notorious for its slow encoding. AV1 even more so. Is it a difference of expectations for image vs video?

Hey I think you missed the last letter (Y) in that link.
thank you, fixed!

Encoding can be slower.
Is this compared to standard JPEG? Wikipedia says it "is about as fast as old JPEG."
Compared to WebP & AVIF, I believe. It's not a huge downside though.

The linked page seems to imply that JPEG XL is faster, although I don't understand the graph of MP/sec vs bits/pixel.
This seems promising
Sorted!
