## Description

Don't Accept WebP is a lightweight Chrome extension that modifies your browser's 'accept' headers by removing the 'image/webp' format. This prevents websites from prioritizing WebP image delivery, ensuring you receive images in other formats like JPEG or PNG instead. While this extension stops servers from serving WebP by default, it does not block WebP images if the server chooses to send them regardless. It's a straightforward tool for users who prefer traditional image formats for compatibility or quality reasons, without altering overall browsing behavior.
