I still think webp is good xd
Beside the fact that some software are STILL not supporting it, what do people have against webp ?
honestly, because nothing fucking supports it 😡
idgaf if it’s better in every way, if I can’t open it in the windows images application (school pc) I’m going to download in PNG instead
Weird, all my software has supported it for years
The forcing of it from Google, trying to set their standards for the web. What’s wrong with jpg and png?
Webp has better compression than png and jpg which allows websites to load faster and consume less bandwith
We could have jpeg xl, but Google said no
Google’s interests actually align with ours here. They want a good image compression format so pages load faster and they get more info from people instead of them bouncing. Besides the last part, we also want that, so it’s a win-win. Webp is legitimately a good image format.
I like to save memes from Lemmy to share with friends, and my messaging apps won’t send webp’s. I use Jerboa and when I long press on the image it says what file type it is. If it’s webp, I either sigh and move on, or if it’s a really good meme, I screenshot it and crop it. But it’s a pain.
Ironically, this post’s image is also a webp
It’s slightly better than GIF, yet somehow just the “new GIF” when it comes to animation. At least nvidia only supports GPU decoding of webp in lossy and lossless configuration and not extended or animation etc. which is where it would’ve been most useful, so instead webp animations become incredibly CPU intensive.
The lossy mode is a dirty hack, the lossless mode is genuinely good though.
Shame it only supports a subset of what PNG does though.
