posted 25 days agoHi, it depends on the site design. You can test on Total Wine glassware page (https://www.totalwine.com/accessories-more/accessories/glassware/c/001555). Use the Page Info dialog (Ctrl+i, Mac: Command+I) Media list to check the image formats. Reload after changing the "Strip image/webp" setting and check again. With the extension stripping webp, the original formats (PNG, JPEG) are used. If that doesn't work for you, check this article just in case: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/extensions-private-browsing
If there are specific sites you would like help with, you can try creating a new issue at https://github.com/jscher2000/dont-accept-webp/issues or emailing me at jscher2000@outlook.com.- Rated 1 out of 5by TidalLion, 2 months agoDoes not work at all, not even after reloading the page or restarting the browser.

posted 4 months agoHi pjcamp, thank you for your report.
This extension makes a change to how Firefox requests images, but many sites ignore the change. If there is a specific site you want to mention, you can contact me by creating a new Github issue on https://github.com/jscher2000/dont-accept-webp/issues or emailing jscher2000@outlook.com.
On the other hand, if it fails on every single site, check for this issue: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/extensions-private-browsing
There also are some pages that give Firefox multiple format options (picture tag/source tags) and it selects WebP for some reason. I don't have a fix for that yet.- Rated 5 out of 5by Crowbar Scientist, 4 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18285487, 8 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.
Unfortunately, this extension only works on some sites. Some are still sending me Webp,oravif (less often) and even twice I got a Jpegxl (I wish to force jpeg from these bossy CDNs that are enforcing inferior formats upon me). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13807639, 9 months agoTipTop, endlich wieder vernünftige Datei-endungen
