WebP is awesome. So is JPEG-XL.

JPEG and PNG are archaic and should die already.

.jxl is also coming btw

As someone who has had to put together websites:

• It is supported by every major browser
• It is halving the amount of your mobile data that I am using sending you images (With lossy compression it does even better)
• It is decreasing my network egress costs
• It is increasing the number of connections I can serve in a given time period

Nope I am not going to stop using this or AVIF (which does better)

People just really need to support it. It’s far better than jpg or png. It’s the go-to for web right now, that’s for sure.

Is this the latest hate trend? Is it that time of the year again?
