    Webm is supported almost everywhere now and manages better quality at higher framerates and smaller file sizes.

    Anybody who has compared animated WebM vs animated JPEG XL?

      Sadly no. Most browsers don’t render static JXL by default yet. Let alone animated. I wish they would. Though for most things regular video transport streams will usually be as good or better. Honestly at this point animated image formats really are kind of a niche and not necessarily super useful at this point. Apng for instance when it was created nearly 20 years ago made some sense. Today now that it’s finally getting supported it doesn’t make as much sense.

        I mean, we don’t really need a browser to render it in order to make a performance comparison. But hey, Firefox is getting support for JPEG XL? So there’s that, I guess.

                That’s what I meant by “behind a switch” 😅, sorry if that was unclear.

                  No you’re fine. I just wanted to be clear that until it’s default it may as well not be there. Outside of my own personal pet projects. No one else would see them that visited unless it was enabled by default generally and therefore not very useful still. I don’t know how much longer it will take them to enable it by default. I hope not much longer. I generally like jxl.

                    Well, regardless of browser support, I would be interested in testing the compression performance of animated JPEG XL versus animated WebP. Would be a good showdown.
