Photoshop still can't open webp files, many websites still don't support uploading webp files. Do you not see how its annoying to drag a file out of Google image searches, see the extension is .jpg.webp then have to convert it back into jpeg to edit thus adding a 3rd layer of compression artifacts to the image.

On GitHub if you rename your WebP file to "file.webp.png" it will upload just fine, and will use the correct Content-Type header when serving. It's really frustrating a simple \.(png|gif|jpe?g)$ check is preventing the uploading of these files. I found this is actually the case for a number of platforms.
Honestly have 0 idea why I’m downvoted through the floor or why you’re responding aggressively. I definitely understand it’s bad, the message I hoped was clear is it’s a bad idea to support yet another format that will take a decade to perfuse.
Why is Adobe so bad at their job? GIMP added webp support about 5 years ago. Paint.NET added it 4 years ago.

4chan is the only such site I've heard of, and 4chan is notoriously bad at this sort of thing ever since they lost moot. It took them years to permit uploading of vp9/opus webms, for no good reason. 4chan's present administrators are incompetent, but 4chan is barely profitable (if at all) so that's not really unexpected.
But Adobe rakes in huge piles of cash, so what is Adobe's excuse?

Did they finally do that? I left permanently a couple years ago (after being there regularly since 2006) because the small "these kinds of threads are why I still hang around this place" threads got more and more infrequent and the regular users got more and more annoying and less fun. Most of the site just became a constant pool of angry racism, cynicism, and paranoia. I can handle seeing stupid racism, but the death of fun and the constant angry sarcasm just got old.
Anyway, I was constantly annoyed that I couldn't upload vp9 webms, and that apng was also not supported given how much better than gif it was. Webp would have been decent, too.
