Why won't Firefox and the other non-Chromium browsers support WebP? They have no problem with WebM. The web needs a lossy image format with transparency and animation (WebP supports both lossless and lossy compression, as well as animation with millions of colours unlike GIF).

Does it though? Does it really?
Ayden Stewart
Firefox already supports APNG's, no need to implement yet another standard for animated images :^)
Camden Robinson
Because they're shit. Another thing firefox doesn't support is fast performance.
These tests were done on a Skylake Xeon, 16GB of RAM and a PCI-Express SSD. e10s enabled and dom.ipc.processCount set to 50. Now tell me Firefox isn't slow:

>what are faster loading times
Nathan Anderson
So, it would be useful for those who have dialup connections and don't mind shitty support and the blurry quality. Opera implemented it to save bandwidth, but i don't compress images to the shit.
Wyatt Martinez
If web developers wanted faster loading times they'd stop including javascript and other shit from tens of domains on every site.

Welcome in the age of 4K videos.
Julian Ramirez
stop making formats
stop making standards
we have enough you assholes
Carson Reed
we live in a age where people screenshot pics on their phone they want to save, instead of actually saving them.
I'd say we're doing just fine.

Firefox is working on implementing WebP

Colton Perez
Because patent laws. No one is sure WebP is actually legal.

qutebrowser supports webp
Cooper Brown
Then why is ebay already using it?
Benjamin Mitchell
>neither support animation
Ryder Sanchez
I think you are _seriously_ confused. WebP is basically VP8 which is a fully free codec.
Maybe you're mistaking WebP for BPG (which is based on HEVC and thus requires you to pay HEVC royalties to use)?
Jason Barnes
WebP does. :)
Brody Reyes
firefox with default settings loads MP4 not webm vids, and if you change the default settings in about:confing you'll get some videos that keep loading forever, that crash and give you a player error
FUCK THIS SHITTY BROWSER!
Asher Ortiz
that's my point

ON MAKING ANOTHER SHIT VERSION
Jayden Clark
If apng could make it, fucking google shit shouldn't either.
Parker Bell
apng was an extremely shitty hack onto an outdated format
animated webp is much better conceptually
Connor Cox
isn't her neck a little to big?
Nicholas Baker
you had to show everybody you're a weeb...
Juan Davis
hello pajeet, are you lost?
Brody Anderson
Be just.
littlesvr.ca
There is no royalty fee on jpg, gif or png. Pointless to introduce new format even if they are "superior".
Ian Cooper
HAHAHA!!
Nolan Morales
The answer is GIF.
gif supports lossy and transparency
And it's also pronounced with a soft 'g' like Jif, and Sup Forums
Nicholas Thomas
Angel Turner
Nobody gives a shit about it, the pipes are only getting bigger and you'd sure as fuck be hard-pressed to find hardware that has difficulty coping with existing standards. WebM actually had noticeable advantages over GIF, WebP on the other hand brings very little compelling ideas to the table other than stroking off a few masturbating efficiency idealists who probably also cry like a brown millennial on 11/9 over a couple megabytes of RAM in their loaded surplus workstations and gaming shitboxes.
But strawmen aside, maybe it would have a chance if mainstream operating systems integrated better support for it into their file managers, for example, but there's no reason for that to happen at this time.
Noah Bennett
mng could have made it because Netscape plugins worked on every browser, it just had 0% advertising
Jack Collins
ITT: luddites who want to kill Sup Forums
Austin Adams
Because flif is better
BETTER

It doesn't help that traffic is constantly increasing on Sup Forums (most likely due to Sup Forums).
Used to doubt hiroshima but traffic really has gotten pretty fucking heavy.
Juan Howard
it would be useful to website operators to lower their outgoing bandwidth costs
like, it's actually a big deal when you're high-volume
disk space isn't the issue
Eli James
trying to do copy/paste it freezes like the motherfucker is about to die

That's the problem.
It's like asking why no one browser except of IE supported ActiveX.
