2010 introduced Google WebP image format, a new format for images that creates up to 45% smaller image sizes than PNG, for a similar quality.
Η Google WebP image format apparently supported by Google Chrome and the programs περιήγησης που υποστηρίζονται από το Chromium, όπως η Opera. Δεν έτυχε, όπως ευκόλως αντιλαμβάνεστε, ιδιαίτερης αποδοχής από τους υπόλοιπους κατασκευαστές browser λόγω της μεταξύ τους ανταγωνιστικότητας. Μέχρι και σήμερα κανένας browser, εκτός του Chrome και του Opera δεν μπορεί να “διαβάσει” και να προβάλει WebP εικόνες. Τα μεγάλα προγράμματα projection and image processing have been supporting it for a long time.
You can compare it photo of this article which is actually a screenshot of the latest version of Firefox 62.0.3 where it cannot show the WebP images and instead shows only their tags (right).
But with the new Windows 10 update for October 2018 (what some people have lost their records) the Microsoft Edge browser supports the WebP image format. It looks like Mozilla will be embracing it as well technology of Google. According to CNET, the Mozilla Firefox browser will eventually support Google's WebP image.
Specifically, the news brought to us by CNET is that Mozilla is advancing support for the WebF for Firefox format that runs on desktop and Android. It clearly states that Firefox will not support WebP running on iOS.
So we are waiting to see the developments on the issue. We are also interested in why smaller pictures in volume, of the same quality ensure a reduction in bandwidth, less traffic in networks and therefore a faster internet.
