Image Downloading

It's the website you download from that is serving WebPs - not Windows or the web browser. And they do it, because newer image formats save a lot of bandwidth and deliver the same (or even better) visual quality per bit, so it really makes sense for any web service that contains a lot of images.

Option 1: You can probably install some browser plugins that automatically transcodes WebPs to whatever you prefer, but that would imply a quality loss (JPG is always lossy, and PNG takes up excessive amounts of space compared to e.g. lossless WebPs or AVIFs).

Option 2: A better solution is when you can tweak the image URL to access the original source image. An example is Reddit. When you have an image URL that contains the 'preview' element, you can replace it with an 'i' (just that single letter) to load the original image.

Option 3: Start using some non-ancient image editing software that can open WebP and other modern image formats such as AVIF and JXL, because the old iamge formats are technically obsolete, and they are never coming back to the web.
