I absolutely hate WebP. Worst format ever.
What's wrong with webp? It support animation, lossless compression, lossy compression and transparency. Animation has a smaller size than gif.
I hate that you can’t right click copy images, it always wants to share as a link. Plus some other issues when sharing, but it’s just such a pain in the ass.
That’d be the browser’s (or whatever app you’re using) fault, not the format. I guess you could choose to hate it for poor support.
To ELI5 this, this happens when whoever made the webpage put a text layer above the image - probably on purpose to make it harder for people to download the image.
