alt Hacker News> JXL was dead. Apple is who brought it back to life
No, it was actually the PDF Association.
They added JXL to the PDF standard.
If google wanted to maintain support for displaying PDFs, they would need to add support for JXL.

The PDF consortium added JXL to the PDF spec two years after Apple deployed support to billions of devices. To anyone ackchyually paying attention to the JXL spec, lamenting that this superior format wallowed in obscurity (largely, it should be noted, because Google dumped it, and so many others just follow the leader of Google), Apple actually completely changed the path of the format's adoption.
