        Yes.

        (Ok there might be a lossy mode but that is barely better than jpg via mozjpeg)

            Technically yes by 26%.

              Smaller is not better.

                26% smaller at the exact same quality is better.

                  Not if people can’t view or save them. PNG and JPEG are superior.

                    Seems like a skill issue.

        It losslessly compressed ~150GB of my PNGs to ~75GB, so I’d say it’s definitely better space-wise.

            The WebP format supports fully lossless compression in addition to lossy compression. I used the lossless mode for my images.

        Web devs will literally look at the standards, decide to do something wrong, then blame everyone else for not agreeing with them.
