WebP sucks.
April 10th, 2019
----------------------------------------

Am I think only person who thinks that Google's new image format, WebP is
a solution in search of a problem? I have downloaded their tools and
tried to convert many PNGs to WebP and also have taken some RAWs and
converted them to JPEG, JPEG2000 (JP2), and WebP... In nearly every one
of my tests the WebP images were either larger or more blurry than the
competitors (or both in the case of JP2)... Don't even get me started on
WebM.

Webp and webm can go die in a fire. JPGs and GIFs are the way to go.
