They took the open source WebKit to develop Chrome and Chromium.
How did that turn out?
Perfectly? Web browsers are way better now than they ever have been.
Google wants to own images. Doesn’t matter if they made the licensing whatever. They make webp. They have a personal vested interest in control.
WebP is a little better than PNG/JPEG and way better than GIF. That’s all that really matters.
You trust Google???
Hell no. I reluctantly watch a bit of content that’s exclusively available on YouTube. Don’t use anything else of theirs and I’d drop YouTube in a heartbeat if I could find that content elsewhere.
You may have already noticed, or may soon notice when it slaps you in the face, that google is inserting proprietary code into their browser, into android, and every other product they produce.
Then, one day, you will find all that free open source labour they used to build their empire is no longer open source. They control the web. And you have no idea what they are doing. And if you decide not to continue using their product you will be unable to access sites and services due to Google’s super duper friendly and only concerned for your wellbeing internet standards.

Google is evil.
Period.
