Webp, on the other hand is "current-proof". JXL's biggest issue is getting adoption, not the technical aspects.

The meme is right, chrome/ium support would do a lot to help adoption. But not even the mainline FF version has support (AFAIK).

    Webp is "current-useless" on account of being unsupported by a lot of software, including Google's own office suite. Just the same as jxl.

    At the end of the day, any standard or protocol that is not widely supported is de-facto useless. Some examples are: ipv4 multicast, TCP multipath, MIR, hashcash; all of this are technically valid, but nothing supports them, so it doesn't matter
