The only browser I actually know of that _can_ support #JpegXL is #OtterBrowser https://otter-browser.org/ —a basically one-man effort to wrap the classic Opera/Presto UX on top of Qt-based web engines— and even then under the very specific conditions that the QtWebKit engine is used, with an environment variable set to enable support for “unsafe” formats (this, BTW, enables support for #MNG too).

the #openWeb today has no champion. It's really as simple as that. The biggest competitor to Google in the user agent space (#Mozilla #Firefox) has no backbone, and innovation/resistance is mostly left to small realities like the partially closed source @Vivaldi or the one-person project #OtterBrowser —that still depend on #Google (or at best #Apple) for the rendering part. This is dramatic. This is even worse than the browser wars of lore.

I really like the UI of #WebPositive on #HaikuOS, but it doesn't support yet support video. Videos work in #OtterBrowser. Youtube is sluggish, but I think that's because of my X200. Videos loaded through my local #Invidious instance run well.

Pictured here is an ad company's futile attempt at persuading me to install an incompatible ad delivery system on Haiku.

Why is it that #Falkon and #Konqueror can leverage KIO to provide generic protocol access, and #OtterBrowser can leverage the extensive Qt image format support when using the QtWebKit engine to support more exotic formats (or the new #JpegXL standard), but neither #Chrome nor #Firefox nor #Vivaldi offer comparable extensibility?
I'm sure somebody will try to make a claim about “security”, but I very strongly doubt that's anywhere close to the actual reason.

Maybe I'll submit a patch for the #OtterBrowser
