It has more efficient lossy compression then JPEG. It has more efficient lossless compression then PNG. More efficient compression then gif and supports animation like gif. It allows for more colors then any of those 3.
You can have a single for extension for photos graphics, and animations and costs less storage and bandwidth saving money and making a better ui.
Webp supports 24 - bit RGB w 8 - bit Alpha channel. It also has better lossless and lossly compression. And it handles transparency and animation better than other formats at a smaller size.
But why is it better? My experience is clicking on webp format opens in browser instead of my image viewer

Sounds like you need upgrade your image viewer? Everything else is loading it fine.

It is smaller, better, and faster.
This right here sir. You missed this part.
I haven’t seen a single browser that didn’t support webp
Lots of image viewers and media programs/apps dont support it currently. Which is a hassle when you’ve downloaded a webp and cant view or edit it.
