Preliminary checklist

• I have read the README
• I have read the FAQs.
• I have searched existing issues for my feature request. This is a new issue (NOT a duplicate) and is not related to another issue.
• I have searched wont fix issues and this request is not among them
• This is a feature request for the Cromite browser; not the website nor F-Droid nor anything else.

Is your feature request related to privacy?

Yes

Is there a patch available for this feature somewhere?

I opened an issue for this on the Build-Tools repo, but someone brought this repo to my attention and suggested I also open it here, as well.

This is obviously not strictly related to privacy in this browser, but it gives users a privacy-respecting option for a mobile browser that supports the new format that Google is trying to torpedo. Currently, the only known option is the Android build of Thorium, which is not a privacy-oriented browser.

Here are two patches available that may be usable by this project:
https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium-libjxl
https://github.com/OpenMandrivaAssociation/chromium-browser-stable/blob/master/chromium-restore-jpeg-xl-support.patch

Describe the solution you would like

I would like one of the above patches (or any others that become available) to be included in the builds for this browser, so that we can have a privacy-respecting browser that also supports a highly-desired new format right out of the box.

This can make it easier for others to suggest a browser option to friends and such. But, it also will help encourage adoption by other Chromium forks, like Brave or Vivaldi and the like.

Describe alternatives you have considered

I'm thinking of also asking the guy behind DivestOS if he'd consider including one of these patches in his builds of Mulch. Otherwise, I'll still be stuck with having two large Chromium browsers on one device (Thorium and your Bromite build) in order to have access to JPEG XL on the web and to have all the other features that Bromite provide(d/s), which is both inconvenient and bloats my already small internal storage (32GB).

I hope this gets considered and merged. Maybe talking with Alex of Thorium could be an option to help make the process smoother and easier.

Thanks again for your work. It is highly appreciated
