IrfanView has webp plugin for opening and saving webp images. It has lossless mode too, I've got ~20% better compression than png with it (and checked that it bit-identical to it). But it slow as hell (like 1 min for compressing 720p image o_O).
As for lossy - it has some presets (text, photo), but the only rate control is «quality». Also it's fast.

H.264 and H.265 are "open standart". VP8 is kinda open, since it specification is available, but it's awful. And have you seen VP9 specs? Me neither.

So, Google is definitely doing its job (an awesome job, BTW) promoting them... Is now our job to give it a real try.
Yeah, awesome job: lying, cheating, making absurd claims, removing H.264 from Chrome...
