Dear @firefox : Please stop saving images as webp when I drag them out of the browser. Forever stop that. Even if they are webp originally, just give me a setting to auto-convert them to JPEG. When I get a webp file the first thing I have to do is convert it manually if I’m going to do *anything* with it.

    Trouble opening images to view them is the only reason I can think of for such widespread hatred of an image format. I don’t know OP’s level of tech savviness so it seemed like a safe guess.

      the problem I have is how several file browsers don’t support generating thumbnails for them, and how a few social media platforms don’t support animated webp.

        That’s fair, tho the last part is true of animated PNG too. Hell, a lot of them will be all like “upload a short, optionally audioless MP4 and we’ll call it a gif”… :P
