Fans of the spec bemoan lack of transparency in Interop 2024 process
  • Browser makers Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla have announced Interop 2024, a project to promote web browser interoperability.
  • JPEG XL, a potential replacement for JPEG and PNG image formats, was not included in Interop 2024.
  • The rejection of JPEG XL has been blamed on Google, with the Google Chrome team deciding not to support the image compression technology.

    If Google says chromium won’t support a feature it won’t be used. The majority of browsers are Chromium under the hood.

      A third party adaptation of Chromium could add support for other formats, the ones we know about right now just don’t bother.
