    As an aside, Photoshop’s JPEG XL export could still use some work. My two main gripes:

    1. Its highest lossy quality setting doesn’t produce output that’s as good as the reference encoder (for some reason its 100% quality level equates to a quality “distance” that’s much worse)

    2. Its progressive encoding doesn’t do any saliency detection, which is the truly cool part of JPEG XL progressive encoding (it allows the most important part of an image to be rendered first as it loads)

    Anyway, it’s pretty great news that JPEG XL support will be shipped in all the major browser engines very soon!

    The past few years have seen the broader tech industry doing some pretty whack/questionable/wasteful stuff, but this is one piece of unequivocally good news.

    Smaller image file sizes for everyone! (and most existing JPEGs can be transcoded losslessly into smaller JPEG XLs)
