On: Chrome still hasn't changed its opinion about dropping JPEG XL support

According to the comments directly below the linked comment, Safari is actually adding support...

So, can we just get past this silly drama now and get JXL support back in Chromium?

Ok, that's great news!

Maybe let's wait for Apple to actually announce the details (which neither the cropped screenshot or the talk abstract have), and give the Chrome team some time to react and make a statement. Rather than have the 10th rehash of this on HN with an incendiary title.

JXL and HEIC/HEIF support are in the changelog for Safari 17. If you download the iOS or iPadOS 17 beta, JXL will work in pretty much all apps.

I agree on giving the Chrome people some space, the title here is ridiculous.

I’m running iOS 17; JPEG XL doesn’t work in Chrome (or Brave). So there’s more going on.

What will be interesting: if Google will enable JPEG XL support in the next update of Chrome on iOS…
