Comment (by wycks):

 I was just pointing out the challenges with webp, not sure why I came
 across as rude. The main push for webp are upstream providers who save
 bandwidth and much less so the user base, though there is certainly a push
 to change this.

 FaceBook is having issues with webp support since photos downloaded onto
 desktop/devices cannot be opened by  the majority of it's users(not
 natively supported by Microsoft).

 Also mod_pagespeed (and mod nginx) support serving of webp to browsers
 that support it with fallback (.jpg) to browsers that don't
 (https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/filter-image-
