It's very sad Mozilla does not even mention their own codec, Daala, and only compares to HEVC etc. I suspect it's severely lacks funding.

Daala development is proceeding at a rapid pace. We're just not ready to bring Daala into this conversation quite yet.

There's a progress report for Daala that makes a similar comparison. They claim to beat JPEG, VP8 and x264 but not HEVC (yet!) on still images.
