It's in Firefox nightly: https://caniuse.com/jpegxl https://caniuse.com/jpegxl but the sooner it's in the regular release, the sooner we can all start experimenting with it and using it.

- simondotau 5y agoA great codec but a terrible and unmemorable name—from the group that gave us JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, JPEG XS and JPEG XT. Why take a great codec and name it "XL" which is the Euro/English moniker for extra large? What's so extra large about JPEG XL? Jixel is a great name though. My advice would be for them to quietly rename it Jixel, Jixl or Jxl.
