Don't "Accept" image/webp by jscher2000
This extension removes image/webp and/or image/avif from the list of formats Firefox tells sites that it accepts. That discourages many servers from replacing JPEG and PNG images with WebP/AVIF. (But some may send them anyway; they aren't blocked.)
You'll need Firefox to use this extension

About this extension
Firefox usually sends websites an indicator that it can handle WebP-format and AVIF-format images, and this may encourage sites to send images in those formats. This extension strips out one or both indicators from requests (more specifically, the Accept header) so sites are more likely to send JPEG and PNG format images.
Due to reported problems, Version 0.8 adds the option to exempt a site, and Patreon is exempted by default.
Notes:
(1) Although broad permission is needed for this extension to modify the Accept header, no data is read from requests, responses, or web pages.
(2) This extension monitors and edits request headers using the onBeforeSendHeaders API. There is a possibility of a conflict with other extensions that use the same API, which can lead to inconsistent results for both extensions.
Note: since Firefox 68, users cannot directly edit the network.http.accept.default preference, so if you found an old solution of removing image/webp from that preference, you've found the right new workaround.
