- breppp 9mo agoa better argument might be that chrome protects their own vs a research group in google switzerland, however as other mentioned the security implications of another unsafe binary parser in a browser is hardly worth it
- archerx 9mo agoWebp has had major vulnerabilities. https://blog.cloudflare.com/uncovering-the-hidden-webp-vulnerability-cve-2023-4863/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/uncovering-the-hidden-webp-vulne...
- breppp 9mo agowhich only strengthens my argument, webp seemed like some ad-hoc pet project in chrome, and that ended like most unsafe binary parsers, with critical vulnerabilities
- magicalist 9mo ago> webp seemed like some ad-hoc pet project in chrome FWIW webp came from the same "research group in google switzerland" that later developed jpegxl.
- breppp 9mo agoI now see that webp lossless is definitely from there, but the webp base format looks acquired from a US startup, was the image format also adapted in the swiss group?
