I have always disliked webp for its inconvenience when I try to save and share images. Nice to know people who actually know shit about it might have concerns also, I guess.
It’s so annoying when I just want to share a gif from tumblr to telegram. Pasting the link doesn’t show the gif, saving the gif doesn’t show the gif, it’s a horrible format
Edit: I’m talking about the webp format when I say “gif”, I just want to share funny me me with friends
Is this really the fault of the format or the fact that it just isn't that much well supported?
Both, since it’s barely supported by anything I use and it doesn’t seem like webp solves anything that gif doesn’t already do
The file size and quality is much better on webp.
Yep webp offers thousands to millions more colors compared to gif's 256. Full alpha support. Not the 1bit alpha of gif. And is exponentially smaller file size for the same resolution and time.
Death to gif
Maybe don't use programs from 1996
(Or when you do, don't complain that new shit doesn't work.)
Dumbass
