Any plans on allowing uploads of webp images?
Every relevant browser, bar Webkit based browsers, support webp already. Though maybe iOS devices may finally get vp8 decode after half a decade since Webkit seems to be allowing vp8 over webrtc in the future... I'm unsure if a webp polyfill would affect readers on iOS devices.
I've done some small scale, about 20 2300px pages, testing on encoding manga in lossless webp and I've seen 20% reduction in file sizes for RGB images against a zopfli compressed png, which is quite substantial! Testing against 64 color zopfli png only shows webp beating png by 3-5%, though webp is still heaps faster at encoding vs zopfli.
There's probably still more testing that should be done before a conclusion can be drawn on its file saving performance, and lossy mode is a complete unknown for me.
