Not better than jpegXL which has clearer free licensing.

Only Apple supports this. Like, literally just Apple. I hate Chrome, and even Chrome doesn't support this. Firefox? Yeah, zero support.

So for these reasons it's 100% not viable right now. If you get the support, I'll consider it for my websites, and tell my colleagues about it, though.

Firefox supports JXL just fine and chrome did support it, but pulled support shortly after.

This is the source I used to originally validate my position: https://caniuse.com/jpegxl

Let me know if it's incorrect, I'd be very interested to learn of new options for the web space as a developer. This said, I googled Firefox and it came back with only "experimental support" for what I think may be an alpha release (version number ends in "a").

I think you still need to enable JXL in the config, but it seems to display just fine once enabled.

Adding support for JXL in windows was much more of a hassle and doesn't always display properly in the file preview. Hopefully windows follows Apple's step soon and adds native support.

I guess as a Web developer it won't matter until the JXL toggle is enabled by default though.
