Context: Even though Chromium has native support for AVIF, a very nice image format, Microsoft goes out of their way to remove it from Edge, which is a chromium fork. Jpeg XL (JXL) (not to be confused with Jpeg (JPG) or Jpeg 2000 (jpg2k) ) is another nice image format, which, IIRC, is only supported in Firefox.
Discussion thread: What's your favourite image format and why?
WebP cause small size, can be transparent, can be animated, can use either loseless and lossy compression. Also it pisses of many people which is funny to me.
If you want to piss people off, support JPEG XL
Every time you mention it, ~~Google shills~~ WebP supporters come out of the woodworks to do their song and dance!
I''m working on a website right now, trying to choose which image format to use. I think I'm gonna store both webp and AVIF versions on the server, and have Javascript figure out which format is best for the browser automatically (for images that have to be loaded with Javascript anyway).If I have time, I might even try detecting if JXL is supported via third-party extension and using that too.
Please don't- HTML has native image fallback functionality https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_picture.asp

Thanks for the info! I was already suspecting that this could be done without JS, just didn't know how.
