People just really need to support it. It's far better than jpg or png. It's the go-to for web right now, that's for sure.

Not better than jpegXL which has clearer free licensing.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Only Apple supports this. Like, literally just Apple. I hate Chrome, and even Chrome doesn't support this. Firefox? Yeah, zero support.

So for these reasons it's 100% not viable right now. If you get the support, I'll consider it for my websites, and tell my colleagues about it, though.

Firefox supports JXL just fine and chrome did support it, but pulled support shortly after.

This is the source I used to originally validate my position: https://caniuse.com/jpegxl

Let me know if it's incorrect, I'd be very interested to learn of new options for the web space as a developer. This said, I googled Firefox and it came back with only "experimental support" for what I think may be an alpha release (version number ends in "a").

I think you still need to enable JXL in the config, but it seems to display just fine once enabled.

Adding support for JXL in windows was much more of a hassle and doesn't always display properly in the file preview. Hopefully windows follows Apple's step soon and adds native support.

I guess as a Web developer it won't matter until the JXL toggle is enabled by default though.

But why is it better? My experience is clicking on webp format opens in browser instead of my image viewer

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Webp supports 24 - bit RGB w 8 - bit Alpha channel. It also has better lossless and lossly compression. And it handles transparency and animation better than other formats at a smaller size.

It is smaller, better, and faster.

I wish everyone would get on the same page so it would also be better for the end user.

People just really need to support it.

This right here sir. You missed this part.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I haven't seen a single browser that didn't support webp

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Lots of image viewers and media programs/apps dont support it currently. Which is a hassle when you've downloaded a webp and cant view or edit it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like you need upgrade your image viewer? Everything else is loading it fine.

[–] balderdash9 1 points 10 months ago

I use FastStone Image Viewer. Maybe there's a plug-in I need to install?
