Detect Webp browser support

webpcheck.js

// check_webp_feature:
//   'feature' can be one of 'lossy', 'lossless', 'alpha' or 'animation'.
//   'callback(feature, isSupported)' will be passed back the detection result (in an asynchronous way!)
//   see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54631141/4845112

        lossless: "UklGRhoAAABXRUJQVlA4TA0AAAAvAAAAEAcQERGIiP4HAA==",

//example usage:
check_webp_feature('lossy', function (feature, isSupported) {
    if (isSupported) {
        // webp is supported, 
        // you can cache the result here if you want
    }
