WebP is an image format developed by Google, long supported by Chrome. We are facing a growing number of webcompat reports against our Gecko-derived Android offerings, where web developers assume Android and/or mobile implies support for WebP. In addition, Edge has now shipped WebP [1]. As such, I would like to add support for WebP images, still and animated, to Firefox, to ensure our users are able to actually view content that relies upon it.
Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1294490 Platform coverage: All. Target Release: 65 Preference behind which this will be implemented: image.webp.enabled, turned on by default. Do other browser engines implement this?: Chrome, Edge. Is this feature restricted to secure contexts?: No, it isn't. This is not a new API, instead it is just accepting more types of content via existing channels.
