• “My long goodbye to Windows XP” (2022)

  Hey, Congratulations on your upgrade to Windows 7! Not 48 hours ago, I spoke highly of the benefits of Windows 7[1], as a user myself.

  There are already forks offering JPEG-XL support. Thorium (warning: sound is auto-played on page open, why is this a thing) is perhaps the most prominent example for Chromium. In Firefox rebuilds there's Waterfox Current and LibreWolf, and for the independently developed there's the browsers that build on top of the Unified XUL Platform (a hard fork of Mozilla) which are Pale Moon and Basilisk.

• Google's decision to deprecate JPEG-XL emphasizes the need for browser choice and free formats

There is a whole world of rich browser forks that are specialized & often work better than their mainstream alternatives. Here, you can see they listened to us when large organizations didn't.
