This affects all browsers and not just Chrome, as the media falsely reported it. Mozilla just rolled out a fix, and Brave is looking into it. This bug is likely related to the “zero-click” iOS 0day that was reported by Citizenlab last week.

      The only reason I know what webp is, is because its “that dumb format” that doesn’t play like a GIF in Signal.

        Well at least it’s not a gif, because gifs really suck at animations.

        The quality is really bad because of its limited color and the file sizes are enormous because animations are just a series of images after each other without any compression or optimisation between them.

          Pretty much, people stick to an ancient format from the stone age and then bitch to people who want to change it.

          Get ready to be called names if you say the truth.

      now i know why people like webp, maybe we could stop using formats owned by google…

      until jpegxl becomes viable (which it mainly isn’t because it compete[s/d] with webp), lets stick to nice formats not owned by tech giants, like apng?
