This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The only problem is that basically no software supports it, so if you're saving pictures for a slideshow or something, webp is impossible to use.
Yeah, what is up with that?
Most photo software supports so many formats, and it is not like webp is a brand new one. It is also widely used on the internet by this point.
Why does it take so long to get support on any of them without installing a separate plugin?
WebP was shoehorned in by Google through Chrome. Other browsers felt pressured to support it as to not be left behind. Other software didn't feel as pressured and is still resisting adding support to this day. Same thing with WebM.
