I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.

Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit

    Heh, in 1993 I wasn’t online at all. '97 or '98 is more like it in my case.

    That’s a fair point, too, better image quality for a given size. I was more focused on raw bandwidth demands.
