I've never heard of webP. Looked it up. Not impressed. Sticking with png.

Who would want to use a format named web-pee

Web-pee is stored in the web-balls

The main advantage of webp is that it has good lossy compression, which makes it great for websites that show tens or hundreds of images on a single page

I always used PNG where I would have used GIF. Other than that I use JPG still. I'm guessing webp is more on the JPG side of things than the GIF side?
