Comment on: Why tiny JPEGs look different in Chrome

You can over ride lib-jpeg-turbo with the moz-jpeg 'update' if you want much nicer jpeg things going on.Mozilla wringed out more from JPEG for Meta/Instagram about a decade or so ago, and their library would be noteworthy in this article, for comparison. The basic idea was that JPEG was devised when CPU cycles were expensive and displays were analogue, meaning that only a limited effort was made to optimise, resulting in things like banding, that OG CRTs handled well, unlike modern digital displays (on systems with 1000000 more CPU).Regardless of what tools you are using, going from 'gigapixel
