WTF IS THIS SHIT

so normally if i find an image on the web and i want to save it, i just click and drag it to my desktop (and move it later after i'm done with it). worked great for years.

but nooooo, now half the time i find an image, it's a .webp. what the fuck is this shit? can't upload it to Jow Forums, macOS can't open it in preview which means you can't hit the spacebar to look at it quickly, thumbnails don't get generated, so the only way to see your image is to open it in a browser. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!?!?

this is just another piece of google bullshit imho, like how they made youtube videos all load into your browser via ajax so that you can't just curl them or find the URL to download them. so fucking annoying that there needs to be development around youtube-dl (which i use often) instead of google just putting a fucking "download" button on yt. i fucking hate this shit, and this .webp thing is just another fucking piece of shit crappy move to require you to do everything in your browser so that Lord Google can know Everything About You™

GNU/Linux doesn't have this problem

I use Arch btw

It does, because almost nothing can open it.

Works in Firefox, Feh and GIMP

Werks fine here, maybe you should reconsider your computing platform choices.

Bloat

Bloat, call me when KolourPaint gets webm support
>Feh
Literally who shit. Call me when default image viewers of relevant DEs get webm support.

GIMP and 5 dependencies = 117.35 MiB
KolourPaint and 55 dependencies = 179.20 MiB

>half the time i find an image, it's a .webp

Yeah, how random it is fucking sucks. There's also times when the entire google images page changes to this weird white background thing with images in a scrolling bar on one side and big image on the other side. There's a few other things they do, which is mostly likely just beta testing bullshit. It is puke inducing.

GIMP is a clusterfuck if you want simple editing, KolourPaint is easy and it takes less time to do basic stuff there. Also,
>muh dependencies
Literally irrelevant. You need 0B of dependencies if you're already on KDE or use anything else with KDE dependencies.
