I'm not a normie, but I also hate WEBP "since it won't work everywhere a PNG or JPEG will" (i.e., an image viewer).

- Macha 4y agoIt's been a while since I've used an image viewer that doesn't support webp, to be fair.
- Zandikar 4y agoTo be fair, there is no bundled or built in app in windows 11 that associates with or can view webp by default. Edge can, but that's not a photo app, and you have to explicitly tell it to (open with) or explicitly associate it with that file type. In other words, it's not natively supported in the current version of Windows. That's a trivial "problem" for the HackerNews audience, but it's a pain point for webp with the broader windows audience.
