This is incorrect/old information: Facebook *is* using WebP for mobile and has reported 20%+ savings. http://internet.org/efficiencypaper > One thing that's been brought up previously was what happens with VP9?

It's been stated (in this bug, e.g.) that WebP will stick to VP8 for the foreseeable future, mostly for stability reasons and hardware support (lossy) through re-use of existing VP8 hardware decoders. Doesn't mean VP9 is not worth experimenting, though, but that is a separate effort for now. _______________________________________________ dev-media mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-media
