The web was designed from the start to solve this problem and you can serve alternate formats to user agents which will select the one they support.




Your statement here amounts to “you can serve JPEG XL to other browsers, just not Chrome”.

Yeah, that’s what I said.


This is the way of web. Sites don't get to dictate what the user agent does. The clue is in the name: user agent.

Okay. So putting it together…

If the user agent does not support JPEG XL, then you cannot use it.

“Nobody is stopping you from using jpegxl” except Google.
