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.

    JPEG-XL has been out for three years, and is better and more efficient than any other image format on the market. Google just has been insisting on keeping them off the web because they want to push WebP instead.

        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.
