The latest Google perversion to the Internet is the image type WebP, designed to "replace" JPEG. This format has among other shortcomings no support for EXIF, CMYK, or ICC color profiles which is why photographers have no use for it. Google also didn't bother to add the most requested JPEG feature, support for an alpha channel.

Google announced webP in 2010 and photoshop didn't officially support webP until February 2022. Google has been trying to force their new webP into wider adoption starting the push in 2013. Firefox and Safari added webP support in 2019 and 2020. Furthermore, with market dominating back room deals between Google and major CDNs you are now seeing WebP appearing on a wide range of web sites.
