minus-square@1984@lemmy.todaylinkfedilink8•8 months agoIt’s sad to see how Mozilla needs Google even for this. I hate that Google seems to have a finger in absolutely everything. Why? Because their end goal is a web where you need to identity yourself to them.
minus-square@pivot_root@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink21•8 months agoGoogle created the original reference implementation, libjxl. It’s not stupid that they would prefer a Rust rewrite be created by the same team. https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl
minus-square@dan@upvote.aulinkfedilink16•edit-28 months agoIt’s likely that Google offered, and Mozilla doesn’t have a reason to say no. Google Research do this for a bunch of open source projects. Chrome needs a JPEG-XL decoder too, so I’d guess they’re going to share the code across both Chrome and Firefox.
