      Yes.

      (Ok there might be a lossy mode but that is barely better than jpg via mozjpeg)

  Webp is actually a decent format, it’s just that a certain desktop OS used by roughly 70% of people chooses to not support it

    Webp images can be a pain in the ass to work with because many programs don’t support them.

  A pain in the ass. Up next is jpegXL. If it’s backwards compatible with jpeg, great. If it’s not, then it can fuck off too.

  You know when you were a kid and the was a toy in a clamshell of plastic that was super hard to tear?

  It’s a bit like that, but with less chance of slicing your thumb open

  Every webp image I've wanted to save I just renamed the extension to png and it works fine.
