Cast your eye over this: https://youtu.be/W6dEz2q6o4c 3 and a half minutes showing both variants.
After seeing (not hearing--my english is only 'read and write') your trials, I repeated them, and--lo and behold!--in chrome everything worked... barring the black background, which appears from nowhere (see addenda below).
So, the trouble is neither with Gimp or webp, but with irfanview, which is my default picture viewer...
Well, sorry to have troubled you all, and many thanks for your help...
(I may add that the only other time I had trouble with irfanview was when wmf was 'the' vector format for users--ps being strictly printers' concern--and the issue was some mess-up with bounding-boxes in 'some' wmf files...)
Addenda: re the 'black background' in chrome.
It seems the browser's way to put a background behind a solitary picture file--same happens opening, i.e., a png.
Put the picture in a skeleton htm
Code:
<html>
<body>
<p><img src="file.webp" alt=""/></p>
</body>
</htmlI missed it because the only images I ever sent to browser by themselves were svg ones--treated as html fragments, maybe?
