Unfortunately being universal implies way more than just having good browser support. There are quite a few image processing programs without webp or jpeg-xl support. I'm using Windows 11 and the default image viewer can't even open webp... Also, keep in mind that due to subscription models there are many people stuck with older Photoshop versions too.

    Thanks, I know about this and other workarounds. My point is, if it was truly universal you should not need anything! I bet most regular users will never even know this exists.

    I never knew about this either and it's been very frustrating as I've been converting my Manga library over to webp (savings are insane) and doing any spot checking opens Edge.

    Edit: After reading the comments, this doesn't seem to open in Photos App.
