I wouldn't call the decision to support a format 6 years after first evaluating it a walk back, it's a concession that the format has been adopted by the industry. If the most popular browser supports WebP and sites are using it, it makes sense that you should support it.

- cptskippy 6y agoWhat's the benefit of WebP over something like h264? Most sites today just convert uploaded GIFs to MP4 or GIFV.
