Comment (by gregbenz):

 @JavierCasares FYI that caniuse does not reflect MS Edge Canary, which
 added support for AVIF a couple months ago. Unless it doesn't make final
 release (which seems unlikely given the stability of AVIF libraries), I'm
 assuming MS Edge will support AVIF (not necessarily HDR AVIF) by
 September. At that point, the remaining gap is basically just people who
 haven't bothered to update their browsers.

 Safari 17 is also adding support for HEIC and JXL (JPEG XL):

 preview-173/. However, AVIF is clearly the way. These other formats seem
 far off (if they ever catch on - Google dropped JXL support from Chrome
 Canary).
