I think JPEG XL's naming was unfortunate. People want to associate new image formats with leanness, lightness, efficiency.

Starting from v145 Chrome supports JXL.

There is also an extension for this: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jpeg-xl-viewer/bkhd...

Presumably the "January 2027" statement is a typo, ...or is that when it is slated to launch in safari?

Orion, and presumably other Webkit-based browsers that are actually up-to-date, can also see the image.

Hopefully my photo processor will accept JPEG XL in the near future!

I'm seeing the image on zen which is a firefox fork but not on firefox itself :/

even with `image.jxl.enabled` I don't see it on firefox

Looks like the sort of person that would create a superior image file format.

Works with Waterfox on macOS but curiously not Firefox. I wonder if their search deal with Google included keeping the image.jxl.enabled setting off.

JPEG XL is also good, but why not use AVIF? It's widely supported by browsers, and rivals JPEG XL in being the best lossy image format.

Works in ladybird as well.

Are there any up-to-date WebKit browsers for Android? The best I could find was Lightning, but it hasn't been updated in years.

Edit: I found A Lightning fork called Fulguris. It didn't work with the JPEG XL test image, but I really like the features and customizability. It's now my default browser on Android.

> this means only Safari will display the image, as far as I know.

Works fine for me in Orion on both desktop and mobile ( https://orionbrowser.com ).

If I download the image, Fedora KDE shows it properly in Dolphin and Gwenview.

Epiphany (aka Gnome Web) on Linux shows this correctly, as expected for a Webkit-based browser.

A rare win for gnome web over firefox here

On Waterfox. Image displays fine.

I enabled image.jxl.enabled in LibreWolf and works. It doesn't work in Firefox Beta, though?

Works on FireFox Focus on mobile, FWIW. (Latest iOS)

Support is not a boolean.

A proper test page should have HDR images, images testing if 10-bit gradients are posterised to 8-bit or displayed smoothly, etc...

iOS for example can show a JPEG XL image, but can't forward it in iMessage to someone else.

Cannot see it with lockdown mode iOS

According to CanIUse, no browser implementation currently supports progressive decoding [1]. This is unfortunate, since progressive decoding theoretically is a major advantage of JPEG XL over AVIF, which doesn't allow it in principle, even though ordinary JPEG allows it. But apparently even a default (non-progressive) JPEG XL allows some limited form of progressive decoding [2]. It's unclear whether browsers support it though.

Honestly I was hoping for a page showing off more of jpeg xl features rather than just a single image
