People just really need to support it. It's far better than jpg or png. It's the go-to for web right now, that's for sure.
But why is it better? My experience is clicking on webp format opens in browser instead of my image viewer
It has more efficient lossy compression then JPEG. It has more efficient lossless compression then PNG. More efficient compression then gif and supports animation like gif. It allows for more colors then any of those 3. You can have a single for extension for photos graphics, and animations and costs less storage and bandwidth saving money and making a better ui.
