What browser do you use recommend?
Firefox and then Brave if I need a Chromium based browser, although I think I am going to ditch Brave for Thorium. Maybe even Edge, it's a lot better now.
-
Fastest browser?
On Windows 10 (and probably 11), just download the .zip here: https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases
-
Up-to-date Chrome browser & library with JPEG-XL restored
Some Iron features might even have been implemented already, looking at https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases/tag/M110.0.5481.178

Browsers and Windows 7
There's Thorium, which is a fork of Chromium. The author is maintaining a separate version for Windows 7 https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases/tag/M109.0.5414.120

I make a Chromium fork for Linux, Windows, and MacOS called Thorium. Thought I’d share here.
Also, typing in the search field on the chrome://settings page crashes Thorium 103.0.5054.0 (your provided binary at https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases/tag/M103.0.5054.0) on Windows 11 Version 21H2 (Build 22000.675). That might not have to do with any of your modifications though. Could just be a bug with that Chromium build.

Thorium on existing Cloudready? Does it auto-update?
https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/ Win builds.
- I make my own Chromium fork for linux. Sharing for people who don't wanna use the snap chromium or 18.04 repos. Has enhancements and performance compiler optimizations.
- Who else uses the default Ubuntu GNOME layout? I think it’s oddly cozy and comfortable once I got used to it.
- Gallium OS update?

- Chrome still hasn't changed its opinion about dropping JPEG XL support
-
jxl-oxide: A pure Rust implementation of the JPEG XL decoder
It's supported in a Chromium fork called Thorium as well. The patches to undo Google's removal of JXL have been published separately, too: https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-libjxl
- Thorium libJXL switched to BSD licence

JPEG-XL vs. AVIF and Others: 27 Images Compared
As I mentioned in the article, Thorium is a Chromium-based browser that fully supports JPEG-XL. Here's the libjxl patch that can be ported to other Chromium-based browsers: https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-libjxl
-
Up-to-date Chrome browser & library with JPEG-XL restored
There is a new repo for the source code for this, used as a submodule in this repo: https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-libjxl ... let's hope it gets updated with the full jxl feature set.
