So does this mean we are getting AVIF or WebP or both? It's not clear to me which is the "blessed" format out of these. HEIC is ofcourse there but proprietary.

- gjsman-1000 4y agoWebP has been in Chrome for years, and isn't going anywhere. WebP2 is cancelled. AVIF is still arriving and is Chrome's preferred choice over JXL. HEIC was not supported by Chrome until recently, but only on devices where the manufacturers already paid for decoding. One advantage for AVIF is that an AVIF file is very close to just being an AV1 still, so if you implement AV1, you've basically got 95% of AVIF already. AVIF is also now natively supported by both Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, whereas JXL is supported natively by none. The fact that AVIF has gotten OS-level support and JXL hasn't is a sign JXL is dead.
