This affects all browsers and not just Chrome, as the media falsely reported it. Mozilla just rolled out a fix, and Brave is looking into it. This bug is likely related to the “zero-click” iOS 0day that was reported by Citizenlab last week.

    The only reason I know what webp is, is because its “that dumb format” that doesn’t play like a GIF in Signal.

        There is optimization. Every frame in the gif can define a rectangle it’s drawn in on top of the previous image. This works fine for reduced color animations (like cartoons), but of course breaks completely for videos.

        Pretty much, people stick to an ancient format from the stone age and then bitch to people who want to change it.

        Get ready to be called names if you say the truth.
