Firefox 157 will enable JPEG XL image format support by default across all platforms. This marks a significant shift as Mozilla commits to adopting the modern image codec that offers superior compression compared to JPEG and WebP.
Background
JPEG XL is a modern image format developed by Google and the JPEG committee, offering better compression than JPEG and WebP. Mozilla has supported it behind a flag for some time before enabling it by default.
