Glad to hear JPEG-XL is still making its way. It deserves to become the most widespread image format.

Regarding web usage after the Google situation:

I do disagree about AV1. Its AVIF image format spinoff is very good. Often better quality or smaller file size than webp, and has browser support as good as webp nowadays.

I work on a lot of web projects, and I used to serve webp and AVIF for a while (based on the browser’s HTTP Accept header). Recently, I decommissioned all webp handling and serving code.

See https://caniuse.com/?search=image+format. You can serve an AVIF for every requested JPEG or PNG file.
