- Rated 5 out of 5by mgkrupa, 3 years agoThis is one of those excellent addons that once you've tried it, you'll wish that you had known about it earlier.
It currently works on most sites although not all, since some sites will simply refuse to send you the original jpeg/png (or the image may not even exist in that format on their servers). In those cases you can use the author's other addon "Save webP as PNG or JPEG (Converter)" to convert to jpeg/png.
It has never broken any website for me or caused me any trouble so it's pretty easy to forget that you even have it installed. But at the same it has made saving pictures so much less annoying.
How can I tell it's working if I forget I even have it? Well whenever a site forces a webp file on me then the "Save webP as..." addon makes a popup appear asking me if I want to convert the file. Since installing this addon, I see that popup much MUCH less often so on those rare occasions where I do see this popup, I suddenly remember this addon and realize that it's been silently doing its job in the background for a while.
Thank you for the great addon jscher2000! - Rated 5 out of 5by Tomé Carvalho, 3 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by JMS, 3 years agoSimple and effective. It tells the server that you can't read webp formats so that web server sends you JPG or PNG. You can also tell it not to send avif files. I don't have a problem with webp/avif, but websites are recompressing lossy formats (JPG) to these new formats and that I don't like.

- Rated 5 out of 5by TheKingAmes, 3 years agothank you! webp drives me crazy on tumblr. finally back to the gifs! XD
- Rated 5 out of 5by The Disintegrator, 3 years agoThank you Thank you Thank you!
webp might be nice to allow smaller images, but when I want to download them it's a pain. Almost no program knows how to handle webp images
Any chance you can make is work in FF mobile? pretty pleaseDeveloper response
posted 3 years agoSomeone once told me how to test extensions on mobile but it was a bit beyond me. The code is open source, so someone who knows the ropes certainly could port it over. - Rated 5 out of 5by Zachario, 3 years agoFantastic. Works exactly as described so far, only issue I ran into is you have to restart firefox for it to work after installing, but this might be a thing with all addons.
Don't mind the 1-star reviews: some people just aren't very smart and they put the blame on the program rather than the user. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mark Simon, 3 years agoWorked perfectly. I have it turned off by default because, obviously, the new formats are better, but sometimes I need the older formats for compatibility.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alter, 3 years agoOverall very nice to have. Recently I've had to disable it though as it's been causing issues blocking me from accessing Patreon. Could we get a way to exempt certain sites from the addon in the future?
Edit: Haven't heard anything from Patreon yet, but thank you for the exemption ability and being so open and responsive to feedback! Zero problems, have that 5th star!Developer response
posted 3 years agoUPDATE: Added an exemption for Patreon (patreon.com, www.patreon.com) in version 0.8. Hope that works for you.

Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at how to do it and there is are a lot of user interface bits to build out, so it's going to take a little while.
Meanwhile, I don't know why a website would be concerned about the changes to the Accept header -- perhaps they look suspicious when image/webp and/or image/avif is removed? If you hear anything from Patreon about it, please let me know. - Rated 5 out of 5by Vimto, 3 years agoWhere it can, does what it says on the tin and removes this annoying 'improvent' - thanks muchly.
- Rated 5 out of 5by marickiya, 3 years agoAbsolutely beautiful. I've finally found the thing that solves my image search nightmare that is the WebP. Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17276228, 3 years agoExcellent, get rid of webp, heic and all that proprietary rubbish. Stop ruining the web and computing, else in a few years nothing will work any more !
