    Why they went through all this trouble to kill a format that they themselves co-developed, I really have no idea.

    I don’t know about AVIF, but WebP is a Google format, and they might be doing it for control, like they use control of Chrome to push more advertising.

      Google is also a member of the AOM, which created the AV1 format, which AVIF is derivative of - if you’re wondering why they’re pushing AVIF.
