Ehh... Firefox can open them just fine, as can GIMP, as can (apparently) my OS's image thumbnailer. (Though oddly enough not my OS's image viewer.) Support isn't universal, but it's certainly not a proprietary Chrome format.

Almost every computing app in the world supports JPG,PNG and GIF. Together we could only name 3 apps that can open webp and only one of those is an editor. Shaking my head as to why this format has any support at all.

  GIMP is supported on every practically usable operating system and can edit animated webp just as well as gifs.

      Most people? Given how much it costs? I doubt it, or Adobe would be the company with the highest valuation in the world.

    Doesn't matter how many platforms it's on it's still one app. Until webp works everywhere then the web shouldn't be polluted with this proprietary Google Chrome image format.
