I'm behind -- did Chrome un-remove JXL support? Google is suddenly behind it again? Why/how did they change their minds? | ||

Yes. They're adding it back to Chrome. This last January at FOSDEM there was a panel with representatives from different browser companies. During the panel Kadir Topal, a web platform product manager at Google, indicated that because of the interest they saw in JPEG XL through the Interop Project that they changed their course on supporting it. https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop The video of the panel can be found at https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/7E7387-browser_in_202... . He starts speaking on the issue at about 13:00 | ||

They added it back as an experimental flag again. Likely the new rust based decoder and adoption in to other platforms and standards changed their decision. | ||
