May I Ask why people don’t like webp? I don’t know the reason? To my eyes now it is a more ecological way of having pictures because of their lower weight?

I’d just say Chromium browsers and Firefox instead of ‘other browsers’. Either way Firefox already put out a security fix so that’s neat.

WebKit based browser users: There are dozens of us!

In Windows/Linux perhaps. There are far too few options. But combined, there are a lot of iPhones, iPads and Macs…

Is it time for us to switch to JPEGXL

Chrome removed support for it because they didn’t invent it.

In Google's defense, they're plenty willing to remove support for things they did invent!
Desistance@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Except they did invent it. They were on the development panel.

Not like it would be any more secure.

Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.
That includes many apps that most people don’t think of as “browsers”.
Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.
Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.
And also a lot of things that remain unpatched for years

Welp, time to update my browser after months.

Can't comment on the rest but Firefox has already released a patch in their update.

Because it’s a hobby distro and that’s the kind of end result you get from those.
