I do this little trick where I change .webp to .jpg
Seems like just another file format to me.
I don't understand what people's problem with this format is except in the case of animated .gifs. I can view it. I can reupload it. It's still an image and it still works. The exception is animations. Animations always end up as a still image when saved in that format.
I hate it as much as anyone else at the moment, and maybe I'm just an optimist, but once more support starts rolling out I think it's going to be great.
Snipping tool is for snipping, screenshots are for cropping.

But the quality...
webp is better than jpeg, png or any other file format
Even if it wasn't, you could just convert it to .jpg if you felt strongly about it. Not as though there's a compatibility issue.
The complaint people are having is with resizing/manipulation after download. They want these enormous uncompressed files floating around on every website, in the off chance they plan to download it and manipulate it. 99.9% of the web needs to be full of megabyte sized image files for the 0.1% y'all want to play with.

If you want to save a *.webp file, just change the extension to *.png. There is no need for a converter.
Are you sure? Maybe your image viewer adapts to the magic number and recognizes the webp file as webp anyway. I believe the formats are fundamentally different.
