    Why are we sending someone to “Extra Hell” for making an improved image format that has better compression and is an overall improvement over all 3 of the existing formats it replaces (jpeg, png, gif)?

    Shouldn’t this apply to everyone the companies who refused to adopt it, thus breaking every normal image workflow? (Same thing can be said about JXL)

    Edit: fix vague wording

      Because it’s Google trying to control not just everything ELSE about the internet, as if that wasn’t enough, but even what image formats we use.

      If PNG and JPEG aren’t good enough, which they often are, by the way, JPEG XL is right there.
