I feel like this meme is five years old and describing a situation that is no longer reality.

    Just this week I tried to upload a webp to google drawings (the google drive document for some kind of vector graphics), but google drawings only accepted gif, jpeg, and png. That taught me, that google drawings dosn't receive any updates any more and probably soon will be killed by google, and also, that webp still isn't available everywhere.

    I feel like even back then, this was a Windows problem I was too Linux to understand.

    I have literally never had a problem opening a .webp. By the time my browser started downloading in that format, all my other software (Dolphin, Gwenview, GIMP, etc.) already supported it too.

    What I see now is pages lossily compressing pngs "because webp can do lossless" instead of just handing me the png file they still have.

    And there are still tons of issues with webapps out of my control not supporting it.
