.jxl is the better image format anyway
And it's not even a contest.
BTW, I only found out recently and by accident that my stock Gimp 2.10 supports it!

Not the fault of the format
As someone who sometimes needs a quick and dirty stock image for my work, webp is the bane of my existence. The work computers won't let me visit sites or install programs/extensions to convert the image, and my document processing programs have no fucking clue what to do with the format. There is an option in Microsoft edge to edit image, and it will dump the result as a .png which is the only workaround I've found.

The real difference is between gif and animated webp... Even fewer places accept animated webp than normal webp and those that do often don't even show it right (looking at you slack emojis) which is a travesty as the file size difference is huge
I'm working on a project which generates images in multiples sizes, and also converts to WEBP and AVIF.
The difference in file size is significant. It might not matter to you, but it matters to a lot of people.
Here's an example (the filename is the width):
Also, using the <picture></picture> element, if the users' browsers don't support (or block) AVIF/WEBP, the original format is used. No harm in using them.
(I know this is a meme post, but some people are taking it seriously)
Just use jxl; it is better and not created by shitty googol.
Is the quality the same? If so how do you know? I mean it's better, I'm just curious.
Tldr: as we deal with a problem long enough we find more effective ways of dealing with it
Has some info on what it does
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL
Technically details might be more what you are looking for
https://jpegxl.info/resources/jpeg-xl-test-page
And a test page, if you don’t see jxl images then you should look at updating your browser

I don't know if the client is the issue, but I am using the Voyager android app and this image failed to load

No webp for me, just because Google is pushig it and that is suspect.

"It works just like regular image formats, but it's fun."
The funniest thing is that even some of Google's own products don't accept Webp, like Google Voice.

What is being implied here? That Website A encourages you to download an image from them in WEBP format, but you cannot then upload that image to Websites B through Z because those sites do not support WEBP?
Not just websites, but software as well. Like image editing software. Which is quite bad.
Yes

Tbh, for myself I either want lossless (eg. professional photographs for an app) or don't care about size, due to small volume (eg. my own pics and vids) and also kinda want the originals. And in today's time, bandwidth isn't lacking (for most people, including me). So everything's just a png.

Now try to find somewhere which accepts apng or mng. I'll wait. ;)
I have never heard of those formats.
My point exactly.

Stop trying to make .webp happen. It’s not going to happen.
They use it on their server side to save data, they don't give a rip if we don't use it. If they wanted us to use it, they'd have cancelled it already.
Maybe we should try to make it happen harder
