If it were people wouldn't be pushing for JPEG-XL.

I'm not going to repeat the advantages of JEPG-XL - plenty of posts on that already.

For some bizarre reason, Mozilla chooses to back the other format - release Firefox can display AVIF right now - while leaving JPEG-XL stuck behind a flag in a Nightly.
