Posting WebP images in the EndeavourOS forum

Forum & Website Forum
#1

Could it be possible to use WebP images in this forum ?

According to https://developers.google.com/speed/webp :

WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index.

It would be nice to allow posting them

It's our Forum! What do you want from it?

Are there any browsers that don’t support webp at this point?

These browsers all support it :

  1. Google Chrome / Chromium
  2. Firefox
  3. Safari
  4. Microsoft Edge
  5. GNOME Web

And also their mobile versions

I don’t understand why WebP is still so underutilized giving its significant file size reduction

Because its outdated since AVIF is out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVIF
Since AV1 for Video and AVIF for (animated) images have been released, jpeg, gif, WebP and all the other formats can be replaced. AVIF supports lossy and lossless. AVIF is also supported in all recent browsers: https://caniuse.com/avif It can be tested here: https://libre-software.net/avif-test/

Please dont waste time and bother with WebP support in this forum.
