It seems like either
-
I get a
.webpfile when I don’t want it (downloading images) -
I try to use a
.webpformat, but it isn’t allowed (uploading images)
So who is trying to encourage people to use it, and who is trying to prevent adoption?
I’m constantly converting it with imagemagick and other tools
It’s being pushed by Google. If a website includes webp it will have a better score on Google PageSpeed Insights, since webp files are smaller than jpg thus the page loads faster. The PageSpeed score is one of the metrics that Google uses to rank the website on Google search.
It’s why I love Google, they make the best stuff, can only recommend!
