    not allowing webp is the answer.

    webp, as the name suggests, is a web image format. not a digital image format.

    webp is a fucking cancer and deserves to be put in the same place betamax and 8-tracks were left to rot.

      I use webp a lot, it’s smaller than PNG for lossless images like screenshots and smaller than JPG for lossy while working for both. All the image editors and image viewers I use support it, so it’s not inconvenient for me in any way.

      Also Portable Network Graphics, as the name suggests, is a network image format, not a digital image format. Just having a laugh : )

      There are many valid criticisms one can make of webp; perhaps discussing the pros and cons. Rather than using those you instead went after it’s name not being linguistically accurate.

      A bold strategy cotton.
