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
