Only if other browser vendors adopt it, although IIRC WebP has hard-coded maximum file size limits that make it impractical for e.g. retina displays, let alone anything we might see twenty years from now.
- magicalist 13y agoAh, that's interesting. I hadn't heard that before. It is a maximum size of 16383x16383[1], so it's more than practical for retina displays, but I can see the point about files in 20 years (for reference, jpegs can be 4x that in each dimension, 65535×65535). I haven't heard that brought up as an objection to the format before, though. If it were really a fundamental stumbling block, there are likely ways to adapt the format around it.
