what is this shit format? If it's better than JPG then why drawing programs completely ignore it?

I hate whoever created this file type with a passion

it was made by google

I think it's pushed by google because it can be scaled automatically or something so you don't need 5 different .jpegs
here it's because it's lighter than .gif for videos, but not sure it matters now that we have .mp4

I believe it is actually significantly more efficient than other image formats, but it is annoying because so few programs actually support the damn thing outside of browsers.
I wouldn't even mind it if I could at least look at the images in windows' image viewer, but of course it doesn't support the file type.

Anyway, the quick trick to saving the file in a better format is to just quickly copy and paste it into a drawing program (even paint) and just save it as a png or jpg like that.
I think there's even browser extensions that automate that - because the file type is loathed for its inconvenience (again, through lack of support).

So not really google's fault, but I hate google, so fuck 'em.
Though, I am curious for the lack of support given the format's positives.

it is actually a pretty efficient format, but the lack of support is frustrating.
even moreso is the fact that mozilla's jpeg compression library, mozjpeg, has even better compression rates with minimal artifacting, yet it's barely seen any adoption. don't even get me started on JPEG-XL, the obstruction of adoption for that one stings and it's purely because we collectively keep allowing Google a monopoly on the direction the development of the web is taking. can't have people use the objectively superior option after we wasted millions of dollars making webp!

It's "superior" if you're serving millions of images to online users. For local images, however, I keep my pngs along with the metadata.
G**gle's web client is everywhere, it can push whatever standard they have.

webp, heic, avif are all meme image formats, because they're just their respective video format keyframes in a trenchcoat. the "logic" behind this shit is that their decoding would be "more energy efficient" because your phone or whatever supposedly already has a chip to decode that. all these formats have pathetic resolution caps and sometimes don't event do full resolution chroma.
jxl would have been the best image format, but chrome team, probably intentionally, created such a shit show that everyone was discouraged to adopt it.

Linux, i respond your thread question???

ah yes, 25cl can or 5l jug, who would need other options. also decode speed? bpp? where are you?
