    Is this a Windows problem I’m too Linux to understand?

    Seriously, everything on my computer – Firefox, Dolphin, Gwenview, GIMP, etc. – supports webp just fine.

      The advantage of using shared libraries is that you only need the one to support webp system-wide and then all apps that need it have it.

      It’s an everywhere problem. A lot of sites and apps still don’t support it, but a most browsers do. So people download images from their browser, then they try to view / edit locally, or upload and share, and they hit a wall.

      We of the privileged Linux class.

      Yeah, same here. No problem with webp on Linux Mint.

      I guess it’s Windows users with the default image viewer. IrfanView on W10 handles webp fine for me.
