I literally just tried to download an image but had to switch to a lower-quality version so I could actually download it before stumbling on this topic.

Its not a garbage format. Its a new format along with webm that has far better compression than other formats while retaining a lot of quality. Whats garbage is that theres not a lot of support for it yet. But its vastly superior to other formats undeniably

and by new I mean like a decade old or more by now

Superior or not, why can't they give you the option to still download it in another format? Whenever I try to select the file type, there are no other options (aside from "all files" which I assume is always there). Giving people more options is once thing, but straight-up eliminating the ability to download a jpg instead makes absolutely no sense.

Theres probably converters or youre looking at the wrong site. Ive seen sites with images in 5x different formats available to download. Its not JPGs fault you cant download a specific .JPG as a .PNG

Been using this extension to mitigate the annoyance of .webp: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-image-as-png/nkokmeaibnajheohncaamjggkanfbphi

Adds and option when you right click to save them as .png files instead.

I hate them too, but at least there are extensions that can deal with it.
