I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.

Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit

      I’d bet on WEBP simply because it was first out of the gate. Even though JXL is likely a better overall solution, it might arrive too late to dethrone WEBP. I’m already seeing WEBP in lots of places.

      I think webp has already “won”, because google refuses to have jxl support in chrome, the web browser most of the people use.

      Apart from that, if I’ll have a website I’ll aim to support jxl and the old formats, but webp not even by mistake.
      Why? I think this is yet another thing with which google wants to be everywhere for this or that reason and I’m fed up with that.
