    I’ve had more problems with HEIC/HEIF than webp, but no one has a problem that their phone takes pictures in that format even when no websites accept it.

    Webp hate is so forced.

      Because phones (at least iPhone) decide themselves, if the photo is exported in jpg or HEIC codec based on targeted destination.

    I want to get this off my chest. I hate Google especially for trying to block JPEG XL. What’s it with forcing video codecs into image formats? AVIF and Webp are objectively inferior to JPEG XL in every single way. Well, I can explain that myself. The guy who made the AVIF format has his feelings hurt by user choice. Can you imagine all of the bandwidth and power savings if CDNs could actually use the format that they’d like to use?

    Is this a Windows problem I’m too Linux to understand? .webp works just fine in every piece of software I have.

      I think it’s more of a mobile phone issue especially messaging apps. People see a meme they like on here or Reddit and download it. Then they try to send it to friends and family and Facebook Messenger or Signal or whatever can’t read webp.
