A comment on Introducing the ‘mozjpeg’ Project. Parent comment
According to Google it's about 30% smaller than JPEG: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/webp_study
It's a massive effort to switch entire industry to a new format for a 30% gain. With a drop-in replacement of libjpeg you can get 10% gain right now.
Also WebP is based on 2006 VP8, which is obsolete now. Chrome ships with VP9 that's further 26% smaller on keyframes.
