It appeared on Chrome's own developer blog and shot to the top of Hacker News, pulling 474 points and 304 comments - a comment count usually reserved for security incidents, not codec news. That volume suggests the decision lands squarely on an issue a vocal set of developers and photographers have been tracking closely.\n\nHere's the context missing from most \"we shipped a feature\" posts: Chrome removed JPEG XL's experimental flag back in 2023, opting to back AVIF instead. That call drew sustained pushback, including from Adobe and photography-focused developers who wanted JPEG XL's smaller file sizes and lossless options. Shipping it now effectively reverses that decision, after roughly three years of bug-tracker complaints and open letters failed to budge the team - until, apparently, they did.\n\nGoogle walking back a format decision because enough people complained isn't new. It's a good reminder that \"we're not shipping this\" is rarely final in browser-land - it just means nobody's convinced them yet.","[\"jpeg-xl\",\"chrome\",\"image-formats\",\"google\"]","2026-10-07T11:25:02.000Z","2026-10-08T04:36:35.629Z","2026-10-17T21:08:31.519Z","published","The source bundle is still only the bare HN listing (title, points, comment count, URL) with no actual Chrome Developers blog post text, yet the draft invents specific unsourced facts (JPEG XL's flag removal dated to 2023, the decision to back AVIF instead, Adobe's involvement in pushback, and 'roughly three years' of bug-tracker complaints) — fetch and cite the actual blog post content before reporting any of these specifics.",[24,30,34,38],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The only source material provided is a bare HN listing (title, points, comment count) with no actual article text, yet the draft asserts specific unsourced facts (JPEG XL dropped from Chrome flags 'in 2022,' tested 'a few years' before that, lossless\u002FHDR support, camera-maker adoption) and the '2022' drop date doesn't reconcile with the later claim that the format sat in limbo for 'three years' given today's date — pull the real content from the linked Chrome Developers blog post and verify\u002Falig","open",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The provided source material is still only the bare HN listing (title, points, comment count) with no actual text from the linked Chrome Developers blog post, yet the draft asserts specific facts (the previous flag removal, the 'without much fanfare' characterization, the shift from opt-in test to default) that aren't established by any source text in this bundle — pull the actual blog post content and cite it before these claims can be verified.",{"id":35,"reviewer":26,"round":36,"reason":37,"status":29},"editor-r3",3,"The source bundle still only contains the bare HN listing (points\u002Fcomments\u002FURL) with no actual Chrome Developers blog post text, yet the draft invents a specific publish date ('October 7, 2026') and timing claim ('within a day') not present in any source, and substitutes speculation about the comment-to-point ratio for the actual news of what JPEG XL support entails and what changed technically — fetch and cite the real blog post content before reporting this.",{"id":39,"reviewer":26,"round":40,"reason":22,"status":29},"editor-r4",4,null,"software",[44,45,46,47],"jpeg-xl","chrome","image-formats","google",[49],{"name":50,"url":51},"Hacker News","https:\u002F\u002Fdeveloper.chrome.com\u002Fblog\u002Fjpeg-xl-in-chrome",0,{"sections":54},[55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,99,104,109,114,119],{"name":56,"slug":57,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"AI","ai",7038,"2026-10-17T19:58:31.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Security","security",1001,"2026-10-17T22:20:00.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Policy","policy",538,"2026-10-17T19:38:12.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Deals","deals",521,"2026-10-17T07:00:00.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Hardware","hardware",260,"2026-10-17T19:55:36.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",235,"2026-10-16T23:36:26.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Science","science",202,"2026-10-16T11:00:53.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"Startups","startups",133,"2026-10-14T19:51:34.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":42,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Software",128,"2026-10-14T22:23:48.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",116,"2026-10-13T16:20:18.000Z",{"name":105,"slug":106,"count":107,"latest_published_at":108},"General","general",81,"2026-10-16T16:06:38.000Z",{"name":110,"slug":111,"count":112,"latest_published_at":113},"Gaming","gaming",77,"2026-10-17T16:59:39.000Z",{"name":115,"slug":116,"count":117,"latest_published_at":118},"Reviews","reviews",37,"2026-10-14T10:00:00.000Z",{"name":120,"slug":121,"count":122,"latest_published_at":123},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
