alt Hacker NewsYes, it's very disheartening. We're approaching two decades of WebP, after all. At this point it's not even worth implementing its support because JXL is superior in every use case.

Try this, as it should support animated webp features in eom. =3
sudo apt install eom webp-pixbuf-loader libimlib2-dev libwebp-dev pkg-config libwebp-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev
Not really, lossless WEBP still decodes much faster than lossless JXL, so if you need to decode the images faster, you use WEBP. Yes, you could also speculatively decode the JXL images to hide the decode time.
For lossy, neither is in a good place, since lossy AVIF beats both lossy JXL and lossy WEBP. Lossless AVIF is a joke and barely competes with PNG.
