Browsers starting to rotate images based on EXIF is such a pain. I maintain an image annotation tool and all of a sudden images were shown differently to users depending on the browser they used. Then you have to jump through all sorts of hoops to ignore the EXIF orientation again. In some cases you are not allowed to see if the orientation was changed for security reasons. And then the only way to control this is through a CSS attribute which only works if the element is in the DOM.

I maintain a photo library project, I feel your pain. JPEG format is so crooked in so many ways.

It's shame that after so many years of development we ended up with such horrible formats like jpeg and mp4.
