Firefox didn't support it. Chrome didn't support it without an experimental feature flag on. Not sure about Safari.

But sounds like there's no reason to be surprised there isn't much demand for JPEG XL support. Who would serve JPEG XL pics when browsers don't display it?

I'm all for shitting on chrome, but when FF never bothered to support it either, makes me think it just didn't have a compelling use case for browsers in general

Safari supports JPEG2000, which has been around a long time and gotten little traction. The web seems to favor the lowest common denominators, e.g., GIF.

We could encourage it's use.
