    It’s sad to see how Mozilla needs Google even for this.

    I hate that Google seems to have a finger in absolutely everything. Why? Because their end goal is a web where you need to identity yourself to them.

      It’s likely that Google offered, and Mozilla doesn’t have a reason to say no. Google Research do this for a bunch of open source projects.

      Chrome needs a JPEG-XL decoder too, so I’d guess they’re going to share the code across both Chrome and Firefox.
