Man this back and forth is really frustrating. So Google killed XL a while ago already and I feel like either Microsoft or Mozilla at least considered following suit. After Apple has done heic for a while now I assumed it might go that way regarding a jpeg replacement, but now they did a 180 and switched to xl. I mean good, it's not as patent encumbered, but wtf am I supposed to expect for the future now? Will Google add XL back to chrome? I guess it will take another decade or five until we have a jpeg replacement that's being universally agreed upon, because come on, it would be too easy if we don't get another plot twist where a major player jumps onto something else again for a while.
