I'm also amused by the fact that the file format GIF became a name for a snippet of animation, and you usually get a webp when you search for a GIF (for good reasons too, but funny nevertheless).
- fritzo 3y agoI've heard the specific old format pronounced 'GIF', whereas the newer general use case for any image format is pronounced 'GIF'
- ant6n 3y agoEverybody knows its always been pronounced ‘gif’.

It's really unfortunate because animated webp is a shit format that should never have been created. There is no excuse for it lacking the same intra-frame compression present in the webm format it is based on. Much better would have been to let the <img> tag and css pictures use (silent) video files and then add the missing features (loop flag, alpha, lossless compresion) to webm.
