Browser makers Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla have announced Interop 2024, a project to promote web browser interoperability.
JPEG XL, a potential replacement for JPEG and PNG image formats, was not included in Interop 2024.
The rejection of JPEG XL has been blamed on Google, with the Google Chrome team deciding not to support the image compression technology.

Because Mozilla really doesn't care about what people think anymore. They're an incredibly bureaucratic group dealing with a lot of red tape placed as a force for good that doesn't always meet the mark. It's mainly the reason Firefox doesn't have a lot of things (that it honestly should have)

Also, Firefox is a completely original browser but it doesn't have a "chromium" version the browser like Google Chrome does. Both of the Firefox commercial product and the source code compile to the same thing.

I know, it was a rhetorical question given the stance they take on a lot of things always aligning with what Google wants.
