I had noticed that. Because of flashblock.

Yeah, a 20+ years file format doesn't do compression between frames, who would have thought...

Except that it does do that, the article is wrong.

As I wrote in a different comment the actual reason is lossy jpeg compression, not intra frame compression.

Aah you're right.

Yeah, for pictures jpeg is much better (and smaller) than gif.

Not to mention in several gifs they really reduce the quality to have a smaller file size
