    Even with the new spec PNG is far behind new standards like AVIF or JPEG XL.

      Wasn’t JPEG XL sabotaged by patents or something?

      Edit: maybe I’m thinking of JPEG 2000, IDK.

        AVIF is pretty universally supported at this point. JPEG XL just lacks browser support because Google, prefers to push their own .webp and Mozilla is not interested in supporting any non AI focused standards these days.

        Exactly why monopoly power is killer of innovation.
