"in favor of the homegrown and inferior AVIF"

I am using .avif since some years; all my old .jpg and .png files have been pretty much replaced by .avif, in particular fotos. I am not saying .avif is perfect, but IMO it is much better than .jpg or .avif.

I could have gone .webp or perhaps jpeg-xl but at the end of the day, I am quite happy with .avif as it is.

As for JPEG XL - I think the problem here is ... Google. Google dictates de-facto web-standards onto us. This is really bad. I don't want a commercial entity control my digital life.
