Agreed. It's been hard to watch how much vitriol was pointed at Mozilla for their reasonable position. The C++ decoder was simply unsafe and they would not implement it until a memory-safe decoder was available.

Imagine if the fanatics got what they wanted immediately and then major vulnerabilities were introduced and there was a huge backlash against JXL. It could have set things back way more

Has that ever stopped any of the previous unsafe stuff? Seems like this would be the same - we'd just see faster adoption of the better format without browser limits

Arguably killed WebSQL and Java applets, for some past examples. Currently it's why WebUSB is not getting picked up by Safari/Firefox.
