Encode / export JPEG images with mozjpeg
Similar in spirit to GIMP's gimp#1039
As of 2020, Safari (and therefore the whole Apple ecosystem) doesn't support WebP, which is super annoying for those wanting to export high-resolution photographs that would load fast on the web.
There is a middleground between the standard old JPEG and WebP, however: MozJPEG. As far as I can tell using https://squoosh.app, for web publication usecases, you can export at quality 75 (instead of 90) with no significant loss in perceptible quality compared to the old libJPEG. Even exporting at the same quality setting yields pretty filesize savings, somewhere between 15 and 25%.

I'd love this app to support it (and maybe mention clearly in the UI that it uses that encoder), so that I can use it for batch exporting without worries, without having to convert each image individually with a web interface like https://squoosh.app
