Can’t comment on the rest but Firefox has already released a patch in their update.
The article states that chrome released a patch on Monday and others are following.
Why in the hell is Nobara still on v114? Anyone know?
Because it’s a hobby distro and that’s the kind of end result you should expect from those.
Fellow Nobara user and man of culture, I see
Eh, for now. All the rolling release distros I tried were a disappointment in one way or another and Nobara has quite a lot of issues too that I can’t find solutions for. But I guess I don’t have anything to hop onto at the moment.
I’m in the same boat, and KDE is quite buggy for me under Nobara, but I’m too lazy to maintain a rolling distro and I haven’t found anything yet that I like more.
I tried Gnome first since I haven’t tested it long before their Unity overhaul and it was way worse. Really the worst desktop experience I’ve had (you can check my posts for a summary thread of my experience). The issues I have under KDE I did not have on any other distro so there must be something weird he’s done with it.
You might have just made me search for a distro to hop to. I looked at OpenSUSE but then realised that software availability might just be a pain in the fourth point of contact. Why god why me
GE probably didn’t had the time to update or simply forgot, might be a good idea to ask on the Nobara channel in his Discord server
Discord can go to hell.
oh no, guess we need to get rid of webp forever. Dang it.
Hope that trash google takes itself out .
May I Ask why people don’t like webp? I don’t know the reason? To my eyes now it is a more ecological way of having pictures because of their lower weight?
It’s a better format than JPEG, GIF, or PNG, while doing the jobs of all of those, but better (in most cases), and is an open format. It also has wide compatibility nowadays. The only major downside is a lot of social media services don’t even think about it being a potential format due to a lack of awareness/wide usage, leading to a degraded experience when someone shares a WebP somewhere (lack of auto-embedding as an example). I suspect this is why it gets a lot of hate here, which is unfortunate because it’s not at all the fault of the format.
AVIF (based on AV1) is the up-and-coming format that beats WebP in most cases now, but support isn’t quite there yet (mostly due to Apple), and it has the same problems for social media as WebP. However, it doesn’t have any true lossless mode AFAIK. HEIF (based on HEVC) is also good, but is heavily patent-encumbered and not as open. JPEG-XL is dope and potentially even better in some aspects, but has very poor support across the board.
one important tidbit in this whole situation that sheds a lot of light on where and why is adopted: webp is Google’s horse, jpegxl is adobe’s horse. that’s why jpegxl has poor web support, and why webp pisses off designers.
It doesn’t piss off designers, but we’re pissed at Adobe for making us search for and download plugins to support it.
Seriously, fuck Adobe.
eh, it’s just two stubborn corporate entities trying to throw their weight around. the only reason adobe looks bad here is because Google is winning. they both stubbornly refuse to allow the other’s standard on their platforms.
jpegxl is the better format, without a doubt, but adobe is a fool if they think they can strongarm Google.
to me, adobe is being foolish, but they’re both equally being evil.
Google doesn’t really compete in the professional space, though. Adobe does, and we need these tools for a huge number of reasons. When I first started seeing webp’s, I kept trying to use them in projects and was unable. I was passing them through online converters for a little bit before realizing there was a plugin.
I don’t care which one wins, or which one is more heavily adopted… I just want to see ALL of those in my tools I need for my job.
I know I get annoyed by webp because Telegram processes it as a sticker instead of a normal image. That’s my only gripe with it, but like you said that’s more Telegram than the actual format.
IDK what you mean by lack of auto-embedding, the support for it has been pretty fantastic from the start. I literally learned about it because I was looking though supported formats for a library, and it’s been in the list ever since
This is just me, but when I download a PNG I know it’s lossless, when I download a jpeg I know it is lossy but probably a “photo-like” image, a gif? You get it.
One firmat to rule them all will get you badly compressed pixel graphics and unnecessary large “photo” images and so on, not because the format is bad, but if it lets you do so, people will (and companies obviously).
Most images on the internet are way under a MB, is there really that important to lower it slightly?

It’s because companies always want to include 100 or 200 or 1000 pictures, because of all the products they are selling, they want to sell them all and right away.
It’s dumb, I hate it. lol
Proprietary formats are the bane of humanity. No one company, doesn’t matter, should have control over a file format. They should all be free and universally interoperable. A PSD, for example, should present and store data the same way if used on Photoshop or Pixelmator.
Companies are not your friends.
WebP is not proprietary. It’s an open format, is not patent-encumbered, and its reference implementation/libraries are open-source. It is driven mostly by Google, similar to Chromium.
They took the open source WebKit to develop Chrome and Chromium.
How did that turn out?
Google wants to own images. Doesn’t matter if they made the licensing whatever. They make webp. They have a personal vested interest in control.
You trust Google???
Is it time for us to switch to JPEGXL
Chrome removed support for it because they didn’t invent it.
In Google’s defense, they’re plenty willing to remove support for things they did invent!
Except they did invent it. They were on the development panel.
Not like it would be any more secure.
I’d just say Chromium browsers and Firefox instead of ‘other browsers’. Either way Firefox already put out a security fix so that’s neat.
FF = God
WebKit based browser users: There are dozens of us!
In Windows/Linux perhaps. There are far too few options. But combined, there are a lot of iPhones, iPads and Macs…

Welp, time to update my browser after months.
Webp is literally AIDS.
