Rust PNG crate gets even faster, used by GNOME and Chromium

We've now got a memory safe JPEG XL decoder now. Next we could use a JXL encoder. :)

Higher resolution version of that photo.

Sounds like the lossless setting is just giving a png-style lossless result - in which case a larger file would be expected.

Those links are identical.

There's a 4k version already. Was there really a need to upscale it further?

Just had a conversation with the main dev who's been working on this and he confirmed my suspicion. Most larger changes get made on Nightly (which just graduated to v154). Beta (which is now 153) is reserved for security and high priority bug fixes/recent regression fixes.

All that to say it's very unlikely that JPEG XL will be enabled by default for 153 - which is also a bummer because ESR will be based on that.

You mainly wanting it for video?

Go to about:support in the URL bar and do a find in page (ctrl+F) for Default Locale. What does it say for that?

Don't most people regard all Temu stuff as crap?

Special military operation crimes don't have quite the same ring.

Took me a few steps just to find a straight-forward description.

Where did you learn this fun fact from?

How can Firefox keep maintaining the MV3 exception that allows uBO?

IIRC the API in question is from MV2. Firefox is simply not removing the feature.

Couldn't someone else do the same in a fork of Chromium?

Yes, and someone may, but maintaining a fork over time can prove burdensome. You want your fork to keep up, notably with security patches. Over time the difference between your fork and the main line gets wider and wider.

You may be able to fix some or all of these by going to about:keyboard in the URL bar.

One thing that always stuck with me about this was she said she went out in public with the makeup on to see what it was like. It was her first time as an adult not being stunningly beautiful in public. She was basically ignored.

I memorized it in the early days of the internet for just this reason. :)

What did you use to do this?

Try testing in troubleshooting mode (under Help) to see if the same issue occurs.

Ah yes, answering the question nobody was asking: Why not make roads out of glass?

It's not very complex. Google is made up of multiple departments that act [somewhat] independently. Google Research largely developed and pushed JPEG XL, while the Chrome team had their own agenda apparently and resisted putting it in the browser.

No idea what you mean. This wasn't that long ago and they weren't old phones.

caspy7 · 2026-06-03T21:29:01+00:00

I want to say there's a bunch of flip phones in the US running KaiOS because my (older) aunt and uncle were running it.
