But why is it better? My experience is clicking on webp format opens in browser instead of my image viewer
Webp supports 24 - bit RGB w 8 - bit Alpha channel. It also has better lossless and lossly compression. And it handles transparency and animation better than other formats at a smaller size.
It is smaller, better, and faster.
I wish everyone would get on the same page so it would also be better for the end user.
This right here sir. You missed this part.
I'm a layperson. I don't care about what technical benefits it has on paper when its impractical to use. So I have to agree with OP on this one.
I haven't seen a single browser that didn't support webp
Lots of image viewers and media programs/apps dont support it currently. Which is a hassle when you've downloaded a webp and cant view or edit it.
Sounds like you need upgrade your image viewer? Everything else is loading it fine.
I use FastStone Image Viewer. Maybe there's a plug-in I need to install?
