eh, it's just two stubborn corporate entities trying to throw their weight around. the only reason adobe looks bad here is because Google is winning. they both stubbornly refuse to allow the other's standard on their platforms.

jpegxl is the better format, without a doubt, but adobe is a fool if they think they can strongarm Google.

to me, adobe is being foolish, but they're both equally being evil.

Google doesn't really compete in the professional space, though. Adobe does, and we need these tools for a huge number of reasons. When I first started seeing webp's, I kept trying to use them in projects and was unable. I was passing them through online converters for a little bit before realizing there was a plugin.

I don't care which one wins, or which one is more heavily adopted... I just want to see ALL of those in my tools I need for my job.
