Noone gave a crap about this format on this site until Google decided to not add it to Chrome. Noone used it, no posts were upvoted. It just became a thing when it was yet another reason to rant at Google.
Note how noone is asking Mozilla why Firefox won't support it or actually building websites using it.
- lonjil 3y agoActually, lots of people were talking about it, and lots of people at big companies like Facebook were excited when Google added it behind a flag. Shopify even rolled out JXL to their storefronts not long after JXL was added to Chrome. > Note how noone is asking Mozilla why Firefox won't support it or actually building websites using it. People do ask why Firefox isn't supporting it, but the answer is obvious: because Chrome dropped it, and Firefox has what, 5% market share? And people do use it on websites, you just didn't notice because companies like Nike don't tend to write up blog articles about how they're using a cool new image format.
