This affects all browsers and not just Chrome, as the media falsely reported it. Mozilla just rolled out a fix, and Brave is looking into it. This bug is likely related to the "zero-click" iOS 0day that was reported by Citizenlab last week.

The file size and quality is much better on webp.

Yep webp offers thousands to millions more colors compared to gif's 256. Full alpha support. Not the 1bit alpha of gif. And is exponentially smaller file size for the same resolution and time.
