Works perfectly, does exactly what I need.

This converts WEBP to its respective filenames (gifs into .gifs and otherwise into .jpg and .png) and the file still works. I hate .webp files with a passion. Thank you dev.

Flakey, and may break other extensions' functionality: I just realized that I can't rename my downloads (of any type) with TamperMonkey anymore. Turns out, when this extension is enabled, TM can't name downloads anymore (using the browser's Downloads API on Chrome). I suspect that this hooks into the downloads API in case it's needed, and says "Nope, my bad, keep the filename as it was originally", which may overwrite what GM was doing, or it prevents GM from getting there in the first place. GitLabs repo is archived, so I couldn't open an issue there. General stability/functionality is quite flakey, I find myself looking for or trying to get the popup arrow to show up half the time, meaning it doesn't make things faster or easier :/ (often it doesn't show up at all)
