> built-in HDR support

Oh hell no. HDR is already bad enough in Youtube on iOS where there seems to be no way to turn it off - you tune your brightness to something decent in bed... and then some video by some showoff dingus scrolls across the feed frying your eyeballs.

Fuck HDR or at the very least give people an option to turn it off!

this does not help me against malicious or incompetent website authors. Mobile browsers usually do not have support for user stylesheets.

Mobile Firefox let's me add Stylus and I assume other extensions like whatever the modern Greasemonkey is. So at least one of the good mobile browsers does support it.

If you're using a mobile browser without extension support, you should tell the devs of it to work on that.

I will say windows implementation of HDR - at least the way Chrome handles it within Windows is somewhat of an abomination - so I'm sure Apple's iOS is just as poor!

but sometimes it's not HDRs fault - it's just the segura effect. People with cameras exceeding their capability levels, not understanding what you need to do after you shoot video in LOG.

I mix multi-monitor some-HDR some-SDR in Windows, it's bad.

Nah iOS really cranks up the screen brightness to display HDR content.

Interesting. That's one way to get the nits difference between black and white :/

What's wrong with JPEG 40?

50 times smaller than JPEG 2000.

It's great that Chrome is shipping JPEGXL.

AVIF is still better at 1 bit per pixel and less. (JPEGXL is more efficient at more than that.) Is it possible for JPEGXL to beat that?

I do not know if JPEG XL is competitive with AVIF for very compressed images, because that is mostly a concern for those who want to host at a minimum cost Web pages with embedded images. I assume that AVIF must be better for that purpose.

On the other hand, AVIF cannot compete with JPEG XL for high-quality photographs, which is something much more important for me, because it is a format suitable for storing my own photographs and it is a format that would make me appreciate positively a Web site that would have beautiful images in this format.

That isn’t my experience. I tried compressing conference proceedings into thumbnails with tiny file size and for this purpose I found that JPEGXL is far better than AVIF

They need to relay on Rust to write safe code…

is that a bad thing?

Everytime someone in the world tells the truth about Rust, a lot of "crustracians" went bad...

Folks, it's just a tool
