@rl_dane In my own experience I too find AVIF to be the better option. Though I admit it depends on the type of image. I would make the switch to AVIF for online, but Inkscape doesn't support the format and many websites don't either unfortunately. Even webp isn't fully supported and it's 14 years old. I do have posts talking about how to view each format, https://www.adamsdesk.com/posts/view-avif-images/ and https://www.adamsdesk.com/posts/view-webp-images/.
🍵WebP is pretty close, though, and I'm glad that #GtS supports it natively.
Last I checked, #Mastodon supports uploading WebP, but then just converts it to a JPEG internally. #Ermagherd. XD
Neither of them support AVIF at all. I don't know about #snac and #honk, though.
let's find out what snac2 does!

and a webp picture of a valley from https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/gallery1
personally I hate both of these formats, and regard them as corporate attempts to offload their bandwidth costs at the expense of consumer electronics costs!
