Mozilla Firefox 65 will support WebP image formats

WebP is an image format introduced by Google in 2010 that combines lossy compression and lossless compression to provide 45% smaller images than PNG. Of course, Google Chrome fully supports this specification, and Opera and Edge also supported it in October 2018, and now Mozilla, another giant in the browser industry, is also supporting WebP image formats.

The display of WebP is now available in the nightly version of Firefox 65, and in the developer‘s bug report layout, the issue of marking it as missing is now marked as fixed.

It’s worth noting that by default this feature is still off, and the user needs to activate the feature by enabling the image.webp.enabled parameter in the about:config settings page.
