    Considering Apple's support and product cycle. You are looking at a Billion devices supporting JPEG XL between now and end of next year. It might be low in percentage, but it is still a substantial number.

    As an aside - My Firefox updated the other day and now has no sign up VPN built in with multiple countries available to choose. Very welcome feature.

    I've been testing JPEG-XL on nightly, it's a lifesaver for high-res photos. Half the size of PNG with no quality loss.

      What sites already are using JPEG-XL en masse?

    How is the support for JPEG-XL across other browsers and local photo viewer applications?

    Is there any hardware accelerated jpeg xl implementation? Like VA-API's VAProfileJPEGBaseline for jpeg

      could you tell more/point to resources about hw-accel jpegs? does it make a difference for some sort of pipeline/batch operations or 'normal' use too? are there issues with some jpeg features being unsupported? i haven't heard almost anything about this
