On stills: 26% better than PNG.
On photos: 25-35% better than JPEG.
Animation support: yup! Bye-bye GIF.
Browser support: everything except IE11 and pre-Big Sur MacOS. IE11 goes away in August.
License issues: nope. Free and open.
Sounds like it's time to support it in Apostrophe 3!
That requires updating uploadfs to deal with scaling it. We'll have to check imagemagick's level of support. We probably also need to generate JPEG or PNG fallbacks, and maybe GIF fallback for animations (LOL), depending on whether the WebP in question is lossy or lossless, and demonstrate proper hygiene for emitting fallback markup in our image widget.
Support in Apostrophe 2 is not an unreasonable proposition since most of the work is in uploadfs.
