A new PNG spec
I doubt it can get anywhere near. What is even the point of a new PNG version if there's something as advanced as JXL that is also royalty-free?

Browser support for JPEG XL is poor (basically only Safari I think), while the new PNG spec is already supported by all mainstream browsers.

It's poor, only because Google is using their stranglehold on browsers, to push their own WebP trash. That company can't get broken up soon enough.

Firefox also doesn’t support JPEG XL out of the box, and Chrome does support the new PNG, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

How about renaming JPEG XL to PNG or just merging the complete spec into PNG 3.0?

Firefox is there to prevent/delay the forced breakup of Googles monopoly no to provide any real competition, thanks for showing another example of that.
