hmm, I usually just change the .webp extension to .png, and most of the time, image viewers just open it without issue.

This doesn't change it to a png, but your image viewers recognize it as webp. You should just associate .wepb with your image viewer in the OS.

yeah, I figured as much. I guess even seeing the .webp extension bugs me so much that I can't even stand the sight of it.

Worse is when the image viewer uses a DLL that could read WebP, but the lazy devs wouldn't add it to the file association list. Heard at least one case of intentional sabotage, because WebP did not work on a social media site.
