A #Wikipedia editor has arbitrarily decided to remove #JPEGXL from the "Comparison of browser engines" table as "irrelevant", based on the #Google decision not to support it. That's a nice example of lack of objectivity, and letting the reality be defined by Google monopoly — and not even #GAFAM, because Apple supports the format.

@mgorny The arrogance in that editor's comments is insane.

I also removed JPEG XL for the same reason. Google decided not to support it in Chrome, so therefore it's irrelevant to the real Web.

None of those arguments matter compared to lack of Blink support and thus doomed to irrelevance on the Web.

Why have a comparison page at all if Blink is the only engine that matters? Edit the page to have only a single sentence that says that "comparison of web engines is irrelevant because other browser engines besides Blink are irrelevant".

@mgorny Can I follow the consequences for the editor somewhere?

@mgorny
This will make my day to have read someone who is self-proclaim being objective and talking about "the real web", something vague and hardly more subjective
