    I dunno what y’all’s problem is; all the software I use seems to support webp just fine.

    (I use Linux BTW.)

        I genuinely didn’t even notice the first time I downloaded and viewed a .webp. Firefox and Gwenview (the KDE image viewer) handled it just fine. So does GIMP if I want to edit one.

        What common software are people trying to use that doesn’t support it?

          I have no idea. I had a funny issue where .webps had a different default program, but that was the only time I’ve had to think about an image extension (I use Linux too (Mint btw)).

          The only thing I’ve encountered is older versions of Wordpress. It didn’t support webp until 2021 or so

    Even fucking imgur doesn’t support webp. I guess it is more important to block popular vpn providers for an image hosting than to support popular image formats.

            You need to download the WebP extension for windows from the Microsoft Store

            Or just use linux™

      I’m so fucking sad about .jxl, it’s a better and more open format than webp, but Google refused to support it in Chrome due to corporate interests in webp, so it’s basically dead. Only Firefox supports it.

      ☹️
