- hn_submit 20d agoYes, but unlike WebP it wasn't exclusively designed and developed by Google. That's a big difference.
- mimasama 20d agoAV1 wasn't also exclusively designed and developed by Google. Chrome's team should be blamed for favoring AVIF over JPEG-XL, not Google entirely.
- jbverschoor 20d agoAnd Google also removed jxl support in Chrome in '22 (only to put it back in recently)
