Do you also hit yourself in the nuts every morning to show the world how tough you are?

I find this interesting there an advantage to the older formats or is this just for compatibility with custom photo editing tools?

It's unreasonable to stop further software development just because there's a 'mature' solution around. Besides, just because a solution is 'mature' doesn't make it good.

And considering that it seems like you can still use the original, about 30 year old format, doesn't look like there's any harm for the folks not needing or able to use the new stuff.

you know, using a better encoding is better for your dial-up internet too

Webp is a smaller file size than jpeg for the same image quality in almost all circumstances - so it’s more efficient and quicker to load. It also supports lossless compression, transparency, and animation, none of which jpeg do. And the jpeg gets noticable visual artefacts at a much higher quality than webp does.

People didn’t adopt it to annoy you. It’s started to replace jpeg for the same reason jpeg started to replace bmp - it’s a better, more efficient format.

these damn kids will wake up on day and go, "why do you need xpg? jpgxl is just fine!"

they don't realize it yet that the only reason why jpeg xl exists is to silently slip that corpo collar around their necks.
