Description

Author: mathias.schindler

Description:
Mobile applications are often used in scenarios with limited or shaky bandwidth. Smaller download sizes for content will directly result in pages being loaded much faster.

WebP is a file format for lossy image compression developed by Google that offers smaller file sizes compared to JPEG (various studies come to different conclusions, gmaxwell/mozilla did not come to this conclusion)

Android devices running version 4 upwards will be able to display WebP via its media framework.

Version: Unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Duping to bug 25611; can't do anything mobile-specific without the infrastructure, and if the infrastructure's there don't really need anything mobile-specific.
