It was never more than a feature flag, this is not a big deal

“Google Chrome has offered JPEG-XL (JXL) image support via a feature flag (chrome://flags/#enable-jxl) since Chrome 91 while with Chrome 110, Google is looking at deprecating this still-fresh-and-new image format.”

What? It's a big deal because it was a promising format that was gaining support and is now being killed. The fact that it wasn't a full feature before it was deprecated makes it worse, not better.

Where can u use it? When is it better than wepb?

jpeg-xl is neither broadly used not is it any advantage above the newer formats that are developed.

It's always better than WebP. AVIF has a small edge at very low bitrate though.

How can anyone use it when browsers won't support it? WebP and AVIF are shit compared to JPEG-XL.
