  1. standards-positions

    Their standards position is still neutral; what switched a year ago was that they said they would be open to shipping an implementation that met their requirements. The tracking bug hasn't been updated[2] The patches you mention are still part of the intent to prototype (behind a flag), similar to the earlier implementation that was removed in Chrome.

    They're looking at the same signals as Chrome of a format that's actually getting use, has a memory safe implementation, and that will stick around for decades to justify adding it to the web platform, all of which seem more and more positive since 2022.

  3. pngquant

    Lossy PNG compressor — pngquant command based on libimagequant library

    Fair point, though not entirely true: you can run an image through lossy compression and store the result in a PNG, using tools like pngquant [1]. Likely not as efficient for many kinds of images, but totally doable.
