I genuinely didn't even notice the first time I downloaded and viewed a .webp. Firefox and Gwenview (the KDE image viewer) handled it just fine. So does GIMP if I want to edit one.
What common software are people trying to use that doesn't support it?
I have no idea. I had a funny issue where .webps had a different default program, but that was the only time I've had to think about an image extension (I use Linux too (Mint btw)).
I've had several Android apps that don't like it, some still don't. I'm not hating on it though, it takes time for everything to add support for new things.
Even fucking imgur doesn't support webp. I guess it is more important to block popular vpn providers for an image hosting than to support popular image formats.
I'm so fucking sad about .jxl, it's a better and more open format than webp, but Google refused to support it in Chrome due to corporate interests in webp, so it's basically dead. Only Firefox supports it.

I thought I could smell something was amiss
hahaha i didn’t even notice cuz i just pasted a screenshot and i guess lemmy is based(?) and converts pasted images to webp
I dunno what y'all's problem is; all the software I use seems to support webp just fine.
(I use Linux BTW.)

The only thing I've encountered is older versions of Wordpress. It didn't support webp until 2021 or so

Windows. macOS. imgur. many websites. lol. that’s why your (i use linux btw) feels rage bait-y.
I mean, it's hardly my fault that other OSs are inferior. 😜
no one says it was. it’s a meme. goodness.
Mac/iOS support webp tho?

Since iOS 14 which released in 2020.

FTFY
The exact same thing will happen with .jxl
