Death to gif
Comment on Critical vulnerability in WebP Codec has browser vendors scrambling for updates
Callie@pawb.social 1 year agoIt’s so annoying when I just want to share a gif from tumblr to telegram. Pasting the link doesn’t show the gif, saving the gif doesn’t show the gif, it’s a horrible format

Is this really the fault of the format or the fact that it just isn’t that much well supported?
Callie@pawb.social 1 year ago
Both since it’s not supported by barely anything I use and it doesn’t seem like webp solves anything that gif doesn’t already do

The file size and quality is much better on webp.

Yep webp offers thousands to millions more colors compared to gif’s 256. Full alpha support. Not the 1bit alpha of gif. And is exponentially smaller file size for the same resolution and time.
