We really should just use .WebP instead.

2.7 times file size reduction when compared to .GIF - not as much as .WebP, but there's no sound, works on <img> tags and doesn't burn your cpu to a crisp: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=107290472&postcount=289

I wish 4chan allowed support for those instead.

Edit: I don't think WebP allows for 60fps, so WebM for those would be ok.
WebP is only supported in Webkit browsers like Chrome and Opera at the moment. Until the other browsers have completed their implementation, I don't think it can be used as a replacement.

RIP in piece Mobile users

Gifs are a lot worse.

So is WIF official now? :D I like the word

And what do our GAF mods and admins say

I hope not, WIF doesn't make any sense to me. Just call them WebM's or something. No need to try to link them in with GIF's as they are entirely different formats that have nothing to do with each other. I don't call PNG files PNPEGS or whatever.

We shouldn't use IMG tags at all because Lynx users can't see them.

It's not like Chrome isn't available everywhere.

WebM for NeoGAF FireFox Addon 0.3

New:
Only preloads metadata data and should save bandwidth as well as CPU load. There is a dummy Autoplay property within the addon preferences which does nothing at the moment.

It looks like this:

Nice work, One suggestion: it would be nice to have an option to hide the FF media controls by default on all embedded webms. You normally don't need video controls for the gif use case, and when you do you can still unhide them.

I downloaded Andrex's add-on and I'm not able to change it from auto-play to hover to play or the other option. I click to change it but once I leave the page it changes back to autoplay, is there a save preferences button I'm not seeing?
