Hows .jxl support these days? (kbin.earth)

I heard about this recently and decided to look into it. Seems neat. When I convert my existing .jpeg images to .jxl, they look identical, but take up only ~60% the space. Windows file explorer and paint dont support it however, but ImageGlass does. Considering converting all my images to .jxl to save on storage space (esp. cloud storage). Thoughts?

It's in Firefox but disabled by default.

It's under the about:config settings in Firefox. Search for image.jxl.enabled and set it to true.

Only in nightly unfortunately.

It's only enabled by default in nightlies. It's in Firefox stable, just not enabled by default.

Source: I am not using nightlies. I have it enabled in my browser. It's been there for over a year at least.

Strangely, I enabled it a year ago and jpegxl.info is still displaying that my navigator does not support jpegxl
