I don't know what a .webp file is but I don't like it. They're like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you're looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with.

Edit: honestly I assumed it had something to do with Google protecting themselves from image piracy shit

For anyone who doesn't know, you can easily change the file extension to .jpg and it'll still work.

    But also know that it's not a jpeg, and it only works because whatever app is opening the jpeg is able to read the webp format.
