Saving jpg image results in avif file
-
While using Vivaldi with Feren Linux, recently I noticed that when saving a picture from a website, for example thedailymail, the image is shown as .avif. However, if I use other browsers, such as Dissenter for example, the image remains as a .jpg...
Any thoughts on this?...modedit title

I also am having the same exact problem... It seems like some helpful posts have disappeared here? (I assume the kansas fella above isn't just nuts and talking to himself.)
I'm trying to save this mildly rude doodle HG Wells did of DH Lawrence :
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/10/22/09/63739143-11343095-image-m-13_1666427421204.jpgAnd it only saves as an AVIF. I can work around it by copying the image data into a graphics program, but I would prefer a quicker solution... I'm dying to know what the missing assistance posts on this thread advised.

Hi, I guess there were no posts in reply.
I don´t have an answer for your question but when a user think a forum is a chat room it does not work.
A few hours or a day seams normal to me, not 15 minutes.
By the way, Chrome and Firefox does the same with this image, no idea why.Cheers, mib

@razz Hello and Welcome to the Vivaldi Community
This is because the server tells the browser the image is AVIF, as can be seen in the developer tools:
content-type: image/avifBefore that, the browser has told the server it supports AVIF images:
accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.9
So the server is happy to comply, since AVIF images save bandwidth.The browser does not care what the "extension" in the URL is, only what the content-type is. Browser don't understand what a "file extension" is at all, file extensions are a Windows invention.

Thanks! I'm new to Linux (fairly recent Windows defector) so I'm slowly picking up all the nifty Linux tricks, as well as my simple old brain can handle them. Thanks for the pointers!
