Except webp has worse compression, doesn't support HDR and has a max colour depth of 8bpc. What makes JPEG-XL great is that it covers loads of use cases and is very future proof.

Webp, on the other hand is "current-proof". JXL's biggest issue is getting adoption, not the technical aspects.

The meme is right, chrome/ium support would do a lot to help adoption. But not even the mainline FF version has support (AFAIK).

edit: the option doesn't seem to actually enable support
stable firefox has an option to support it, in about:config that is set to false by default

Webp is "current-useless" on account of being unsupported by a lot of software, including Google's own office suite. Just the same as jxl.

At the end of the day, any standard or protocol that is not widely supported is de-facto useless. Some examples are: ipv4 multicast, TCP multipath, MIR, hashcash; all of this are technically valid, but nothing supports them, so it doesn't matter
