    Is it the "?format= " at the end of a url that usually turns a quick download of a .jpg or .gif into a .webp or .webm download?

        I usually change the url to “.jpeg?format=jpeg” just in case that formatting takes any extra computing on their end. They want to use a boondoggle I’m gonna use the boondoggle.

        Yep. And most damning, a lot of my image viewing or editing apps don’t like the webp format.

      I especially hate it when the source is already the same as whatever the target is, but it still breaks the image. Removing the format parameter suddenly makes the image work again, it’s so dumb.
