I've been testing JPEG-XL on nightly, it's a lifesaver for high-res photos. Half the size of PNG with no quality loss.

As an aside - My Firefox updated the other day and now has no sign up VPN built in with multiple countries available to choose. Very welcome feature.

Considering Apple's support and product cycle. You are looking at a Billion devices supporting JPEG XL between now and end of next year. It might be low in percentage, but it is still a substantial number.
