Thanks for explaining this, I feel like I already learned more on lemmy than I ever did on reddit now!

I’ll keep this in mind the next time I want to optimize images on a website.

Interesting. I’ve in the past specifically encoded images for a webpage I created to .webp using https://squoosh.app/ as I determined it visually looked best for the file size while also being supported by pretty much all modern browsers.

And since none of the other modern image formats you’ve listed are widely supported by many modern browsers I will probably do the same again when I have to create another website with some images. But I would hope that other formats gain more traction in browsers so that I can use them in the future.

What benefit does rejecting image/webp give?
