<p>Currently there are no browsers that have native FLIF support. We hope for this to change at some point,
but browser developers are understandably hesitant to support new image formats.
<p>Currently there are no browsers that have native FLIF support. The situation is unlikely to change, though,
since FLIF has been obsoleted by <a href="https://jpeg.org/jpegxl">JPEG XL</a>.
There is however a javascript based implementation:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://uprootlabs.github.io/poly-flif">Poly-FLIF</a></strong> - A Polyfill for browsers that don't
natively support FLIF.</li>
</ul>

<p>If you want to encourage browser developers to add FLIF support, maybe these pointers might help:</p>
