Another important thing to mention is that WebP, HEIC, and AVIF are all based on video codecs whereas JPEG XL is a traditional image codec.

I find this article describes the differences and pluses/minuses incredibly well: https://cloudinary.com/blog/how_jpeg_xl_compares_to_other_im...

TLDR in the article is that both technologies are valid and have a significant use case. I still work plenty with the browser and would _absolutely_ use JPEG XL as a replacement for WebP images, traditional JPEGs, and PNGs if I could.

It's a shame Google/Chrome is not supporting the tech. It would be a major improvement in the landscape.
