Re: JPEG XL Test Page
#62I think JPEG XL's naming was unfortunate. People want to associate new image formats with leanness, lightness, efficiency.
Crappy as a .jpg, only bigger. Actually, I remember when JPEG XL came out, and I just thought: cool, file that one away for when I have a really big image I need to display. Which turned out to be never. Names have consequences.
Honestly, that's exactly what it sounds like to me too. I know it's not, but it's still what it sounds like. And it's just way too many letters total. When we have "giff" and "ping" as one-syllable names, "jay-peg-ex-ell" is unfortunate.
Really should have been an entirely new name, rather than extending what is already an ugly acronym.

#65Honestly I was hoping for a page showing off more of jpeg xl features rather than just a single image

Considering "jpeg" has become the shorthand for "digital picture", it would be a shame not to capitalise on it.
I feel like "jpeg" has generally become a shorthand for "low quality compressed digital picture"

#69I enabled image.jxl.enabled in LibreWolf and works. It doesn't work in Firefox Beta, though?
