Why are 90% of the images WebP format? (lemmy.world)

is it a formatting step that an image goes through when uploaded? I'm tired of converting image after image back into jpg, so if there's like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp, it would help to know

I hate when a new, efficient, fast image format is used by viscous developers to make their evil website load faster and use less bandwidth

GRRRR

Yes, JpegXL would've been even better, but WebP is good too.

I still hoping JpegXL will get some traction. The fact that it was removed from Chrome looks bad but they'll most likely add it again if it does. It's by far the best of all of them.

considering that apple and adope are supporting it in full force now, with DNG even supporting it to compress certain types of data, I have no doubt that Chrome will eventually be forced to re-implement it
