Their decision is schizophrenic: the JPEG XL format is a combination of two technologies: PIK (developed by Google) and FLIF (developed by Cloudinary) - one of them developed by Google. It is entirely sensible for them to reverse their decision, which came before Safari announced the format would be supported.
Adobe is already supporting the format, and many image editors / browsers are including it.
Finally, adding a WASM polyfil to your website would still yield many benefits, enough to outweigh not-100%-yet-support-by-browsers.

- carbotaniuman 3y agoFrom my very very limited understanding, the amount of influence webp (compared to even say AVIF) people have seems disproportionate compared to how useful it's been.
