It’s the full disclosure of the ImageIO webp vuln from last week, this is the root cause.

This is way way wider than just browsers. Anything that can display webp images is vulnerable and that includes things like MS Teams and Twitch.

Further solidifying webp as the worst image format.

The current advisory is in webm (VP8 specifically). The webp one was 2 weeks ago.
...yeah, not a good time for web browsers lately...

WebP is currently the smallest and highest quality format accepted by browsers today. I have no idea why you think so negatuvely of it, but it’s irreplaceable until something better is widely adopted, and thus viable.
It’s the best format for websites as of this exact moment.

Highest compression, not highest quality (arguably).
Also heavy compression which takes more resources to display.
Also poor compatibility outside browsers.
afaik it’s basically still just VP8 in image format with added metadata, and google refuses to support alternatives because they like to own the browser market.
I think there was gonna be a webp and webm 2, but it never happened.

The only reason that’s the case is because Google axed the JPEGXL implementation

AVIF is supported everywhere and it’s fantastic

Lazy motherfuckers on this site can’t even use proper grammar when being a snarky asshole. That shit you wrote is barely coherent.

Your low intelligence is none of my concern
