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!

Yup, Gnome Web loads it just fine! Man, it really is a great browser. I try to switch to it every 6 months, but then I remember that it doesn't support extensions at all. I could give up everything, but not 1Password. Nothing is worth copy/pasting credentials and losing passkeys entirely.

On Waterfox. Image displays fine.

Alright, that image made be really miss Lenna as an example image.

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

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

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.

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

And yet WEBP decided to associate itself with urine, which google then forced on everyone using their monopoly power.

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

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

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.

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

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.

> 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 ).

Works in ladybird as well.

I can see the image just fine on Thorium!

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

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

Checking the Firefox bugs on this, it seems they decided to replace the C++ libjxl with a rust version which is a WIP, to address security concerns with the implementation. All this started a few months ago.

Maybe the zen fork is a bit older and still using the C++ one?

Flipping `image.jxl.enabled` made it work for me after refreshing the page. I'm using Librewolf 146.0.1-1, but I guess it works just fine in firefox 146
