Mozilla does not like WebPI Google

The WebPI, a compression format for images offered by Google, do not like. Unlike WebM - for its video - the WebPI is indeed under fire from critics and the person in charge of the integration of image formats in Firefox does not seem ready to integrate WebPI.

The WebPI has the advantage of producing images that take up less space than the same images in JPEG but there are some constraints. The first is that the technique used by Google to compare the quality of WebPI and JPEG is flawed, "quality" is indeed better for software testing, but the perception of users is not.
