• 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.

    I expected Mozilla to implement this, I don’t know how they expect to get marketshare by just following in Google’s footsteps every step of the way.
    Is Firefox it’s own browser or just Chrome with a different engine? Even Apple support jxl, well the decoding anyway.

      Because Mozilla really doesn’t care about what people think anymore. They’re an incredibly bureaucratic group dealing with a lot of red tape placed as a force for good that doesn’t always meet the mark. It’s mainly the reason Firefox doesn’t have a lot of things (that it honestly should have)

      Also, Firefox is a completely original browser but it doesn’t have a “chromium” version the browser like Google Chrome does. Both of the Firefox commercial product and the source code compile to the same thing.

        I know, it was a rhetorical question given the stance they take on a lot of things always aligning with what Google wants.
