- Google Chrome 145 has been released with JPEG-XL image support reinstated.
- JPEG-XL decoding is back in Chrome/Chromium, now using the Rust-based jxl-rs decoder for better memory safety.
- The feature is enabled via the 'enable-jxl-image-format' flag in Chrome 145.
- Other new features include support for the text-justify CSS property, column wrapping in multicol, and an SQLite backend for IndexedDB.
- Chrome 145 also introduces device-bound session credentials, reduced user-agent strings by default, and Upsert functionality.
- The update is available across Windows, macOS, and Linux systems.
