Can I say the hate toward WebP is disappeared?
No, I hate it. imv does not support webp making me open web browser to see pictures. I hope Avif will replace WebP soon.

I really wish desktop image viewers supported it better instead of the browser being one of the few pieces of software that render them. For web use though, they are hard to beat when it comes to file size, so I understand why they have been so widely used in the fediverse where instances basically run off donations.

For sure! Compared to jpg it's still better for sharing pics online, but honestly Avif files are even smaller than webp at the same quality. I usually prefer WebP (for sharing) though, since it’s more widely supported.
Ayy, another .avif enjoyer!
Any reason qView doesn't work for you?
I don't use a tiling window manager, so I'm not sure what makes imv ideal. But I dislike how every damn gallery app has an excessive featureset when all I want is to see the damn file I just double-clicked. QView has been perfect, and never let me down in terms of format support, ever since I first installed it back when I was still on windows.
TIL about qView. I am going to give this a shot because I haven't found a great option for viewing webp outside the browser when I am stuck on Windows.
You'll love it. It is exactly the image viewer my minimalist ass would make.
It just shows you the image, allows you zoom and pan, right click for a little more actions and details, and the arrow keys let you go next/previous in the folder.
That's it.
Ayy, another .avif enjoyer!

Any reason qView doesn’t work for you?
Oh, I just tried it, looks neat but qview
has a bit different philosophy from imv (for tiling), shortcut bug (can't remap F key, even after unmapping it from any else action), and what is really bad, there are viewing issues on sway. For sake of justise, I tried many viewers but unfortunatelly imv
"just works" better than everything else for me. So I use mpv, web browser or kitten icat
(viewing images in kitty
terminal) for webp. However, I will use qview on Windows, thanks.
I tried to talk the administration into using avif over webp but didn’t work out.
No the hate is still around.
But support is now wide-spread enough that webp files usually aren't a problem anymore.
Telegram turns webp images you send into stickers that can't be viewed in full size, which is just weird.
