When they get a logo that isn't shit.

have you ever seen the jpeg logo or png logo?

who gives a fuck

Is there any downside at all to this format? Besides lack of support.

>Besides lack of support.
that's it

It might be patent encumbered, also GPLv3

Maybe after FF and Chrome add support for it.

how about hiro adds webp support first

When you don't have to include a link for people to know what you're talking about.

a FLIF internet would be pretty cyberpunk

>webpage loads instantly but image detail comes in in chunks
>zoom in on picture
>detail level increases to match zoom level

It's not done yet, it doesn't have browser support (outside of polyfill), and it isn't standardized.

It's a great format though, and I have high hopes for it.

FLIF
AV1/Opus
Bcachefs

Lots of good stuff on the horizon.

COMPUTER, ENHANCE

I hope this gets widely supported soon. Mostly to finally replace animated GIF, which is literally from the 80s. APNG never really got of the ground.

How is it compared to png?

>to replace animated GIF
kek. so you're still one of those guys?

We have webm to replace gif. Storing videos as pictures is just dumb anyway.

Webm is a video format numbskull. It's not lossless.

Never. Nothing new will ever be implemented on Sup Forums.org.

No shit. animated gifs are just videos stored in a picture format, which is incredibly stupid. Also I think you can do lossless webm.

>I think you can do lossless webm.
Perhaps, but it's not gonna be efficient, won't support transparency, and you won't be able to control the loop, individual frame timing and all those goodies that GIF has.

Are there any browsers and operating systems that support it?

Webm is far more efficient than gif, and it does support transparency (see simpl.info/videoalpha/ in chrome, firefox doesn't support transparent webm yet), you control the looping of webm through the video tag, individual frame times can be easily replicated by just having multiple copies of the same frame. Gif doesn't have any other "goodies" unless you count only being able to have 256 colors as a feature.
