>>1413857>does implementing the use of that format carry something else (like the site needing something to parse them or something)?Also obviously the site needs to be able to generate thumbnails from the images, and parse the container to make sure the only thing in the image is the image and to remove EXIF metadata (and parse it for
>>>/p/). None of this would be a huge amount of work, but it wouldn't be free. webp would take very minor modification of the existing webm code, mainly adding support for the container, whilst HEIC/AVIF would need support for thumbnailing h.265/av1 and parsing mp4.
Another possible explanation is that 4chan is waiting for this format war to blow over, or is worried about patent licenses.
