So we are up to Firefox and Chrome in WebP support? Still need Safari and Edge. But I plan on moving to CloudFlare soon and it would give us free WebP support.

Quoting Wikipedia, "Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, GNOME Web, Midori, Falkon, Pale Moon, and Waterfox natively support WebP. Microsoft Edge supports WebP through a platform extension (installed by default). Microsoft Edge doesn’t support platform extensions, including the WebP image format extension, when running in the security hardened “Application Guard” mode."
"WebP can also be displayed in all major browsers using the WebPJS JavaScript library, although support in Internet Explorer 6 and above is achieved using Flash."

- https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/faq#how_can_i_detect_browser_support_for_webp
(web browsers not natively supporting WebP can still be served other compatible file formats)

The explanation on the compression technology is good.

rotfl, why do people want to buy state of the art computers and install up to date software, in order to stay confined to data technology from the early 1990s (like jpg and MP3 for example)?

@pyf: Some users don't care about file formats because it doesn't affect them. I'm guessing that what you meant are those people who upgrade often. They're probably busy fine tuning game settings if they're into games.
People who do photography would probably care, but not all. I know someone personally who shares 1k resolution bitmap images on social media, man those are huge.

Even on THW, some people post heavy pictures. Can't they optimize the file size of their screenshots and avoid using the PNG format as much as possible, dammit?
WebP might make this behavior a bit more bearable, for those with limited bandwidth.
