That's what "random 10 out of 67k sites" gives you. Your set was cherry-picked, dang's wasn't. That said, dailykos.com seems to be banned. Happy now?

Proprietary software is "viral", indeed. As soon as it's part of a combined work, the entire work devolves into proprietary software.

RISC-V is the ISA plus some auxiliary specs. A CPU, and even more so a SoC, contains enough other stuff that Qualcomm can torment their partners (and their lawyers) with. And of course they will do that.

This is a thread about Qualcomm looking into RISC-V. Seeing how "great" their ARM-based designs are, they will manage to make a real mess out of SBI soon enough and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I'll stock up o

Provide alternative formats, making the browser autoselect. Or provide a JXL polyfill. In either case: Have Chrome telemetry report home that "user could have 20% faster page load with JXL support".

JPEG2000 ran into a patent license trap. JPEG XL is explicitly royalty free.
