Everyone's issues with WebP are actually issues with anything around WebP
I used to hate WebP but then installed qt5 image formats something or other and i can now view WebP same as any other standad image type.
I don't think this is simply WebP hate but its about Jpeg-XL superiority. It is a very new codec with very efficient compression
That's fair, XL is undeniably better but at the same time i do feel like webP has gotten some unjustified hate when JpegXL isnt in the picture
I guess thats from windows users whose default image viewer don't support webp, also the set of ms office apps(idk if changed tho)
Same thing yhat you have said tho
Coll, cool. What about atents and royalties?
Free and open
what OS are you using? Is this a windows thing?
Arch with Plasma 5
