Beside the fact that some software are STILL not supporting it, what do people have against webp ?

The forcing of it from Google, trying to set their standards for the web. What's wrong with jpg and png?

Webp has better compression than png and jpg which allows websites to load faster and consume less bandwith

We could have jpeg xl, but Google said no

Google's interests actually align with ours here. They want a good image compression format so pages load faster and they get more info from people instead of them bouncing. Besides the last part, we also want that, so it's a win-win. Webp is legitimately a good image format.

I like to save memes from Lemmy to share with friends, and my messaging apps won't send webp's. I use Jerboa and when I long press on the image it says what file type it is. If it's webp, I either sigh and move on, or if it's a really good meme, I screenshot it and crop it. But it's a pain.
Ironically, this post's image is also a webp

honestly, because nothing fucking supports it 😡
idgaf if it's better in every way, if I can't open it in the windows images application (school pc) I'm going to download in PNG instead

Weird, all my software has supported it for years

The lossy mode is a dirty hack, the lossless mode is genuinely good though.
Shame it only supports a subset of what PNG does though.

It's slightly better than GIF, yet somehow just the "new GIF" when it comes to animation. At least nvidia only supports GPU decoding of webp in lossy and lossless configuration and not extended or animation etc. which is where it would've been most useful, so instead webp animations become incredibly CPU intensive.

2025 starter kit. Although manifest v3 will fuck things up in a June, at least for Chromium users (minus Brave).
Shinigami Eyes is also not a bad shout, but I took a look at the github issue tracker and I can't make out from some of the posts there if it's still good or if it's compromised.
Cool table, but it's sad that any of it is needed for normal browsing.

Cool stuff, but I still get a lot of consent pages even after using consent-o-matric tho

Yeah, it's not perfect, but it does handle over 75% of the ones I meet. I've noticed recently that it struggles with certain German websites for some reason. Most sites copy and paste the same type of cookie consent form, so maybe it just doesn't know how to handle that specific type?
Anyway, one need to report the sites where it doesn't work in order for the fellas that run it (Some Danish university students made it originally, not sure if they're still in charge), to work on bypassing those new forms.

Ublock origin has a cookie popup filterlist.

That's good to know. Consent-o-matic is configurable though, it doesn't just ignore the popup, it automates the setting of cookies based on your preference, which could be "allow everything". So it comes down to how you want to handle those popups.
it does a good job on blocking as much trackers as it can

I've just been using OptMeOwt for the GPC flag feature, but it looks like Privacy Badger (PB) does that and a lot more, nice. I use Vivaldi that already blocks trackers and have a primitive adblocker, so I don't know how much PB will help, but I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: Regarding paywalls, I used to use https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub but it has closed down due to (big surprise) legal threats. I guess https://www.removepaywall.com/ is the better alternative.
