Comment (by gregbenz):

 @adamsilverstein MS Edge supports HDR AVIF, but still under that dev flag
 last I checked.

 Edge, Chrome, Brave, and Opera all support HDR JPG gain maps by default
 now (most of them on Android 14 too). Looks amazing. Support is fairly
 wide spread now. It's clearly the way to share HDR images now, and HDR
 AVIF gain maps will definitely be the way to go when there is support
 given smaller files and higher quality.

 Chrome supports AVIF with a gain map under a dev flag. I would think that
 should naturally make its way to the other Chrome-derived browsers pretty
 quickly when ready.
