This new spec will make PNG even worse than HEIC or AV1 - you won’t know what codec is actually inside the PNG until you open it.

- hulitu 1y ago> you won’t know what codec is actually inside the PNG until you open it. But this is a feature. Think about all those exploits made possible by this feature. Sincerely, the CIA, the MI-6, the FSB, the Mossad, etc.
- lazide 1y agoThe more practical concern is that like AVI you can’t tell if you can read it until you try, which makes it a nightmare especially with codec rot.
