Never because 90% of 4channers have 0 fucking clue that it replaces GIF and PNG better than it replaces JPG. So all they see is a JPG converted to webp and will go around moaning "WEBP BAD!".

BEST case scenario is we get jpeg2000 and I'm not joking. We recently got H264 support instead of AV1. 4chan is officially the fax machine of the internet.

no usecase

You VILL get JP2000
UND
YOU VILL BE HAPPY

What's up with that? At least do it for the thumbnails. Would save a lot of bandwidth.

>>106996357
It's more efficient than jpeg. Even lossless webp is far better than png. You wouldn't use bmp instead of png in 2010.
>>
>>106997505
There's some nuance there. Webp IS more efficient than a very specific variant of JPEG that uses chroma sub sampling.

There's 3 versions of JPG:
420 blaze it JPG
422 muh 1337 photography JPG
444 muh fidelity JPG

Other than that yeah, Webp curbstomps PNG/GIF 6 feet under the ground.
>>
What is the usecase for webp?
>>
>>106998851
Besides saving bandwidth/space it supports lossy transparency with lossy compression, which is a thing we currently don't have.

Personally users don't really benefit from Webp because storage is very cheap now. Bandwidth for websites however, continues being a huge burden which is why they're switching to Webp.

webp is incredibly inefficient. efficiency doesn't begin and end with GOOG's data fees.
