Competes with webp. Think that's about it. A lot of programs do support it but chrome refusing is the main banana peel on the road.

nothing is sufficiently better than good old JPEG to actually dethrone it. what we should do is actually implement the full JPEG spec, which has a bunch of neat features like pyramidal compression and range coding

Many websites already use webp or avif.

Jpeg-xl is coming to chrome, somehow. Guess they figured webp was a lost cause.

What's actually wrong with webp?

>>31776
In some places it might not be supported. Other than that, nothing.

It just doesn't perform well compared to the formats it sought to replace, and has had several zero-day vulnerabilities, while being pushed by several companies that were overly enthusiastic about (tumblr, anything google, reddit, etc…) which made it seem very top down.

I doubt its because of AVIF since it is very rarely used (due to its poor performance compared to most jpg implementations), I think I have only encountered one this year, or maybe the previos year?
