A comment on AVIF Has Landed.

While AV1 has high complexity and requires a lot more computation power to decode, AVIF picture is essentially just 1 Frame. At the bitrate used with Internet pictures, I would assume decoding power wouldn't be a problem even on Smartphone.

Cant wait to see how it compares to JPEG-XL.

I think we can forget about WebPv2 which is just VP9. I dont see its value when we have AVIF already.

WebPv2 isn't just vp9. It has many features that target image delivery on the web. I think it's worth waiting and seeing what it's like.
