    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.[1] let’s maybe use an image format that isn’t owned by them, perhaps


      1. 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)

      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
