by Cynyster, 4 years agoThank you so much for this add-on. I could rant all day about how the webp and the gifv formats are a pain in the ass. But I am surprised not a single image application is adding support for these formats. Not counting MS Paint which seems to do webp. How did all these sites suddenly add support for these formats when no editors have? Until I can view these files in my Directory Opus and ACDSEE and can freely convert from one to another I don't need or want it.
Again! Well done on this addon

posted 2 months agoHi, sites decide what format to serve based on different criteria. This extension only changes the "Accept" header. Some sites check the user agent instead (to see whether it's a modern browser). If you had the problem with a post on the Community tab of a YouTube channel, I see it, too. I don't think Google offers those images in alternate formats. (If I try to download one using the Internet Explorer 11 user agent, I still get WebP.) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18285487, 3 months agoGreat idea. Lossless WebP is generally a superior alternative to Png (except it cannot handle HQs beyond 16k on a side), but when you get served a webp on a web site, there is a 95% chance it is just a Jpg that has gone through another round of lossy compression, a different type, at a lower bit rate = worse quality (fewer fine details).
In an ideal world, the digital master would be encoded as both Jpg/Png and Jxl, and the browser would have an option built in to preference one format over the other. JpegXl is the best new format. Jpeg2000 was decent but I don't think any browsers support it, and it even has a lossless format. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13807639, 4 months agoTipTop, endlich wieder vernünftige Datei-endungen

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18347256, 10 months agoExtremely useful and efficient, now I can save an image in it's original jpg or png format, instead of paying 2 conversions jpg-webp then webp-jpg. Should be the default when saving a jpg or png image.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Asmodeus, a year agothis is one of the most convenient and helpful add-on in the world, it made my life so much easier when using Reddit and is the sole reason I switched to Firefox.

- Rated 3 out of 5by CodeIcannot, a year agoAfter using this add-on for a long time, I'm only giving it 3 stars, because it's very unclear to me, if it's actually accomplishing anything...? There are lots of sites that keep pushing webp and avif files, even when this add-on is in use, and it feels like the number of those sites is increasing, all the time.

posted a year agoUnfortunately, this add-ons is only effective on sites that pay attention to the "Accept" header. Other users have identified certain sites that ignore the change made by this add-on, such as NexusMods and PlayStation. These sites either no longer support legacy browsers, or require a legacy user agent (such as Internet Explorer 11) before sending legacy media formats. For cases like that, you could consider using a converter. I have one here on the Add-ons site called "Save webP as PNG or JPEG." - Rated 1 out of 5by Andrew, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16974979, a year agoI am so annoyed by the webp format as someone who collects art references on the internet for private use, and no reference program supports webp. Webp is a scourge on the internet and I am glad this plugin exists.
