Safari already shipped JXL in 2023, while Chrome still has it behind a flag with no intent to ship by default yet. Firefox's implementation includes multithreaded decoding, animation, and progressive display, outperforming Safari's C++ libjxl slightly on the author's machine. Why: Web developers can soon start serving `.jxl` images to Firefox and Safari users to reduce bandwidth and storage costs, as JXL offers better compression than JPEG/PNG. You should evaluate adding JXL to your image pipeline or CDN configuration, keeping in mind Chrome users will still need fallback formats for now. web-standards image-formats firefox frontend
