      I’m not afraid to ask, but haven’t yet received a convincing answer either.

        i don’t hate webp. i think png is better, but i think webp is fine

        but i really don’t want google to have more control over how i browse the internet.[1] let’s maybe use an image format that isn’t owned by them, perhaps


        1. especially given how they’ve recently shown that they will abuse their monopoly ↩︎

        Idk they’re less compatible with editing software? I don’t think photoshop supports it by default Sucks when you just want to make a quick meme, and google serves you a webp version of a file that has png in the filename, lol

          lol. I don’t use Photoshop but just reading this I’m convinced it’s just Adobe being a little kid and jealous of Google for developing a good compressed format, otherwise adding support for it would be so easy for them that they could just add it in a point release and not even bat an eye (since webp is free and open and all that stuff)

        Try downloading a png from a site that converts to webp for their CDN services. It’s my only real complaint, but it’s damn annoying going into the Firefox config just to download a simple image. I don’t mind them displaying it as webp, but let me download the source image

      I don’t hate webp. I think JPEG-XL is awesome and I hate that Google prefers to work on webp over jxl.

      I thought for a second that this meme would have been uploaded in .webp for the lulz, but alas after downloading the image to my phone and then going into the properties, it’s jpg.

      webp and webm are genuinely pretty good, they work really well for web pages/for transmitting over the network.
      jxl is better but support for it is crap
