Compile Your OWN Browser to RID Yourself of WEBP
If you are a normal person who uses a computer and not a heartless drone, you 100% hate having to deal with webp files!
Well I decided to just remove all webp support entirely from my web browser so now they just get treated like a normal file instead of mascaraing as a REAL image format. This video is a companion guide to my article that explains how to do this for the PaleMoon web browser (version 33).
Go check that out here, it has all of the commands you need:
http://shystudios.us/blog/palemoon_webp/palemoon_without_webp.html
I'll try and make a future video where I go into the deep specifics of why webp and all of these other silly image formats like AVIF are absolutely harmful software and should be eliminated at all costs.

This original video or stolen from someone else?

FYI: on your article in your compilation requirements, you wrote atp instead of apt. Should probably fix that typo.

are the memeds bad on purpose

@purplesage99 @purplesage99 lol those are what showed up on google image search when I was looking for "webp" and I didn't have any images to fill the gaps in the intro

this video kicks major ass! have you heard of ladybird? there is this dude in one of the nordic countries who was making this os project and ended up making a new browser from scratch and it's weirdly promising for how herculean the task is. what getting off of heroin does to a nigga(?)
on webp: heebs at google cooked up a vile one with this. video compression takes into account how the frame moves to best compress it, using it with a still image is the most brainless idea ever. i get wanting to replace jpg, but there are still the "new" jpg standards which are awesome and not omega gaytarded. i end up having the problem where i try to download a source image and want it exactly 1:1 for archival purpose, then (((brave))) tries to compress to webp (for no reason) and it ends up looking like shit and isn't even smaller.
on av1: im an av1 simp, i'll leave it at that. only so much a brotha can say in 1000 characters. i download a lot of anime hehe~

You could make a patch script that does all of this for you so you could replicate your build with no room for error, also makes it a trillion times more straight forward for normies

@nobie137 Yeah I could but I think it would be better if someone more familiar with palemoon's architecture just implements a disable webp configure option that does this stuff using ifdefs in the code instead of a direct patch.

AV1 is a great video codec, but I never understood using video compression for images. This has been the problem with WebP (why are you using VP8 for images), and even when animated, the quality is garbage because VP8 always looks like shit.
JPEG XL is a pretty good solution to the images on older devices problem since it can wrap an old JPEG file inside of it without an issue, and it's an actual compression algorithm for images as opposed to video. Getting wider support for it would be great.
>AV1 video decode doesn't work unless you have a supercomputer anyway
Hardware support is landing in more and more GPUs, both discrete and integrated, and it'll soon be pretty easy to decode on most common hardware. Intel's adding it to their latest CPUs, and other companies will be soon as well. Google has had it in their phones for a while, and I believe Samsung and a few other manufacturers are doing the same. H264 was pretty CPU-intensive back when it had little GPU support as well.

@termer im sure jpeg xl is great and it is obviously the best out of all the stupid new image formats, but i REALLY doubt anyone is ever gonna actually use it outside of a few super niche situations. Exactly like how no one uses any of the other improved versions of jpeg that are already standardized like jpeg2000, XT, and LS.
AV1 is great for recording! but distribution of av1 I think is a plot to force people to buy new hardware. There is just something about it that feels fishy to me. It was created by every company that hates you, and only helps THEM distribute more slop more efficiently while YOU have to buy their new hardware to get it.

@ShyStudios Being able to use AV1 and H265 actually made a big difference for me when I was on a very poor internet connection, since I was able to screenshare at a decent quality over a connection that could only push around 50KiB/s up. For big video content it doesn't make a huge difference, but for someone trying to livestream video on a constrained connection, it enables doing things that simply couldn't be done before
