That's a great narrative, except that in this case the "someone" in point 1 and the "browser developer" in point 2 are the same company, and the "competitors" from point 4 are not supporting the feature either.

So, can we just get past this silly drama now and get JXL support back in Chromium?
Maybe let's wait for Apple to actually announce the details (which neither the cropped screenshot or the talk abstract have), and give the Chrome team some time to react and make a statement. Rather than have the 10th rehash of this on HN with an incendiary title.
I agree on giving the Chrome people some space, the title here is ridiculous.
I’m running iOS 17; JPEG XL doesn’t work in Chrome (or Brave). So there’s more going on.
What will be interesting: if Google will enable JPEG XL support in the next update of Chrome on iOS…
