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

I rather look at the licenses.
i think that’s irrelevant. sure, webp might be open licence, but so is chromium to some extent and that’s doing severe damage to internet health
that said, apart from “it’s an open format”, i can’t actually find any definitive answer on the webp licence
JXL is royalty-free
oh i know, i’m very pro jxl. but i was more saying why i don’t like webp even if it is open-licence
