Yes. They're adding it back to Chrome.

This last January at FOSDEM there was a panel with representatives from different browser companies. During the panel Kadir Topal, a web platform product manager at Google, indicated that because of the interest they saw in JPEG XL through the Interop Project that they changed their course on supporting it.

The video of the panel can be found at https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/7E7387-browser_in_202... . He starts speaking on the issue at about 13:00

Safari is currently lacking animation and progressive decoding - still ahead of everyone else currently.

Looks like by the end of the year we can expect Chrome and Firefox support.

He only mentioned decode complexity. Would be interesting to know the average encode complexity compared to AV1.

Perhaps you meant lossy? Everything I'm seeing says that Opus does not support lossless.

Google Research was central in developing and continuing to push JPEG XL.

The Google Chrome folks are the ones who decided to disallow it. You could argue that they are trying to kill it, but certainly not Google at large.

Lots of people are using AV1. They just don't know it.
