WebP isn't even the best image codec out there, but it still amazes me that a 1000x1000 pixel (1 MP), truecolor (2.86 MiB) image can compress down to 16 KiB (180:1 compression) and still be not only recognizable, but largely free of defect.
I should try to do a JPEG version and compare.
@rl_dane those aren't supported by my browser, maybe due to licence fees.

Support for both can be enabled in Firefox with image.avif.enabled and image.jxl.enabled in about:config.
And support for WebP could be disabled this way until recently — now I have to patch back the option to disable this abomination 😩
Yes, I hate WebP and I think it should have never existed. Google having control even over codecs is a nightmare even if they aren't collecting royalties, they still exploit it to their advantage.

Good to know, thank you!
