    You have to offer something compelling for everyone. Just coming out with yet another new standard™ isn’t enough. As pointed out earlier, we already have:

    • jpeg
    • Png
    • Webp
    • HEIC

    What’s the point of adding another encoder/decoder to the table when PNG and JPEG are still “good enough”?

      PNG and JPEG aren’t good enough, to be honest. If you run a content heavy site, you can see something like a 30-70% decrease in bandwidth usage by using WebP.
