Fans of the spec bemoan lack of transparency in Interop 2024 process
  • Browser makers Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla have announced Interop 2024, a project to promote web browser interoperability.
  • JPEG XL, a potential replacement for JPEG and PNG image formats, was not included in Interop 2024.
  • The rejection of JPEG XL has been blamed on Google, with the Google Chrome team deciding not to support the image compression technology.

    Mozilla has not jumped on the JPEG XL bandwagon either: The Firefox maker said it’s neutral with regard to the technology, citing cost and lack of significant differentiation from other image codecs.

    Two browser orgs.

    Not arguing just pointing it out

      Mozilla are also dumb, yes, but they aren’t the one in control of 90% of the browser marketshare.

      There is a difference between indifference and actively working against something.
