Google probably realizes literally nobody likes WEBP and avoids using it
This is being done because PDF is adopting JPEG XL, so Chromium must support it since it doubles as a PDF reader.
webp hate is one thing I never understood, especially on lemmy. it has worked flawlessly for me, if you use dogshit image viewers thats on you.
Its more about it being a non-open standard that was unilaterally implemented by Google, and then just expected to immediately become the default because daddy Google said so.
oic, fuck it in that case
Webp is actually good format AFAIK better than the traditional alternatives it’s just that it doesn’t have such wide support and jpeg-xl is superior in many things.
That’s one good news.
Is xl better than webp?
Neither is as good as jpegXP
Give up already and install jpegVista.
this is what happens when corpos take over your standards and compliance boards.
So we made lossy the norm, but - let me blow your mind - what if we make lossy BIGGER?
JpegXL offers lossless compression, too
You win this time, bigger thing!
