> At the time of removal, it had better support than HEIC! I don't think I've ever encountered a single JPEG-XL image. Meanwhile I've encountered plenty of HEIC and never encountered a problem in dealing with them. What annoys me more is that despite basically the entire modern tech industry being in support of- and pushing av1, 99% of the most-modern-compression content I encounter is encoded with h265. There's a good reason for it (h265's initial release was about 5 years earlier) but it still annoys me. I was hoping at least av2 (or whatever it will be called) would be able to get ahead of h266, but I don't see that happening anymore either. Which means were gonna be stuck in the patents quagmire for a long while. Even worse is that parties outside of AOmedia have created an av1 patent pool, despite the explicit reason for av1 being concocted is to not be patent encumbered. Most nastily, they don't go after AOmedia itself but instead sue small(er) parties using av1 to bully them into paying a license. One would expect AOmedia to bring to bear the full brunt of their collective legal departments to scare off the av1 patent leeches, but, so far, not a peep.
