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

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.^[especially given how they've recently shown that they will abuse their monopoly] let's maybe use an image format that isn't owned by them, perhaps

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago

I rather look at the licenses.

[-] Zeus@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Zeus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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

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)

Try downloading a png from a site that converts to webp for their CDN services. It's my only real complaint, but it's damn annoying going into the Firefox config just to download a simple image. I don't mind them displaying it as webp, but let me download the source image
