> For progressive, JXL shows a blurry mess for the majority of its decode, while AVIF shows a crisp image that clearly shows what is in the image. Go ahead and try the demo yourself! AVIF also supports more than one layer, but I used Team JXL's image on purpose to show that even there, AVIF looks better for 90% of the decode time.
I'm not sure I agree? IMO after about 30% most images look better on JXL than on AVIF, the exceptions being the pigeon, which looks better on JXL after 43% (still less than half) and the sunflower, which looks better on 66% (but you can clearly see what's on the image a lot earlier). Also, blurry convey better the idea of loading and the AVIF version may have some weird artifacts / look weirder (although that's subjective), for example the Quechua woman's eyes are very distorted on the progressive AVIF and, on the Poke bowl, some of the seeds on top of one of the top radish pieces are kind of missing / look like a shadow (while other seeds of the same size appear). In contrast the JXL version is usually blurrier and less saturated at the beginning but is more "uniform/reliable" (distorts all of the "objects" more or less the same), and later it looks finished but actually isn't (which may be a problem on its own).
