Gfycat - Jiffier gifs through HTML5 video conversi...
Imgur should do something like this when people are viewing gifs at the Imgur site itself (as opposed to viewing a hotlinked gif file), automatically replacing the embedded GIF file with a video. I imagine they could save a lot in bandwidth costs

As long a imgur promises to never play audio, I think everyone would be very happy with that feature.

Or just to play audio only on a second level of activation, like Vine does now.

They could serve webp files to browsers that claim to support them in their request headers.
It can confuse users that save files to not actually have a gif, though.

When you right click in chrome it says "Save video as..." so I think that's not a problem.
