Why isn't it widely adopted yet? It's much better than AVIF since it's actually designed for still images, and Apple supports it natively on Safari and Photos. What's Google's endgame by killing work on support for it in Chrome?
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
