| schestowitz | "AVIF is supported by Chrome, Chromium, Firefox. I’ve tested Firefox and Chromium on Linux, Firefox, Chrome and Safari on macOS and iOS, as well as Firefox and Chrome on Android. All work well and the article images are loaded properly. | Sep 01 03:00 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz | However, do to the fact that Twitter and Facebook preview cards cannot fetch AVIF images yet, I will continue using WebP for the featured image and AVIF only for the images that I will be insterting in articles. | Sep 01 03:00 |

| schestowitz | people have much faster connections now. so I think cross-platform/browser support should also be a factor. many of my machines still lack support for webp. | Sep 01 03:04 |

| DaemonFC | "Sneyers' less optimistic predictions came true, though not with regard to royalties. Apple, Google, and Mozilla got behind AV1F instead. AV1F display support is already baked into Android 12, macOS 13, iOS 16, and a bunch of browsers (though not Microsoft's Edge, curiously)." | Sep 01 23:30 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-baronhk.wordpress.com | Google Shows Why it Has Too Much Power Over the Web By Dropping JPEG-XL Support. More Firefox Musings. | BaronHK's Rants | Sep 01 23:55 | |
| DaemonFC | "Google sucks. They (and Apple) are causing the very proliferation of pointlessly different formats they accuse JPEG-XL of." | Sep 01 23:56 |
| DaemonFC | "There are too many image formats out there that are not clearly different enough from each other. I even have some WebP photos because it’s all I could get a Web server to give me." | Sep 01 23:56 |
| DaemonFC | "One of the problems with all these “even better than JPEG” formats is the patents, but another is the support, like when you try to send off to Walmart’s photo lab for prints. | Sep 01 23:57 |
| DaemonFC | My spouse’s damned iPhone shoots to HEIF files, which are cumbersome to store in an authentic JPEG standard to send to be developed. | Sep 01 23:57 |
| DaemonFC | Quite often there is even additional file data which is parsed out, making the thing look a bit worse than if he had a device, like Android, which shoots to JPEG to begin with. | Sep 01 23:57 |
| DaemonFC | I’m getting real sick of all these damn Google image formats. I was really hoping JPEG-XL would come about and be the de-facto standard for the next 30 years or so. | Sep 01 23:57 |
| DaemonFC | But it looks like we’re in for an endless bout of Google codecs that last 3-5 years before they’re onto something else. They never stop and support what they do. | Sep 01 23:57 |

| DaemonFC | "There are too many image formats out there that are not clearly different enough from each other. I even have some WebP photos because it’s all I could get a Web server to give me. | Sep 01 23:58 |
