Well if that someone from JXL was trying to keep webp or avif out of a browser, I think that would be pretty justified!

- pornel 3y agoNo, not really. If JPEG XL had a time machine and made itself deployed on the Web before WebP, I'm pretty sure nobody would want WebP in. It'd be an objectively stupid idea to adopt WebP having JXL available, and I'm pretty sure even WebP authors would agree with that. The Web is not supposed to be a Katamari Damacy of codecs. It doesn't need multiple redundant or worse ways to do the same thing. There's a high cost of adopting a new format Web-wide, so it's rational to do it rarely and only when benefits outweigh the costs.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoThats a totally different scenario though. AVIF and JPEG XL both have gaps, contemporary adoption makes sense. Its like trying to argue "we dont need PNG, we have jpeg"
