That can easily be coded around. Just query the browser for .webp support and present .jpg's if .webp isn't supported.
If you have WordPress, you can use JPG and use a plugin that automagically serves up webp if the browser supports it. Like Powered Cache and some of the other cache do it. There may be non-cache plugins that do it. I don't know if any of them do it for free, but I guess JetPack *cringe* does it for free.

For anyone else that finds themselves in the same situation as me, and wants to keep the Nahimic software around for one reason or other - you can also search for a file called BlackApps.dat within C:\ProgramData\A-Volute\*\Modules\ScheduledModules\Configurator. I added Publisher.exe to the list, and it stopped injecting into the process and causing the UI issues. I'm still trying to find a decent balance between having the latest Realtek drivers from Asus and avoiding all the Nahimic stuff that comes with that.
Dell Alienware is running this stuff and adding the names of the executables in \ProgramData\A-Volute\DellInc.AlienwareSoundCenter\Modules\ScheduledModules\Configurator\BlackApps.dat works like a charm for me.

Alienware is running this stuff.
Adding the 3 executable names (photo.exe, designer.exe, publisher.exe) to the list in \ProgramData\A-Volute\DellInc.AlienwareSoundCenter\Modules\ScheduledModules\Configurator\BlockApps.app fixes the problem for me too.

Have problems with Affinity Photo 1.9.2.1035 and this Beta Version 1.10.0.1104
It happens with OpenCL enabled. I have no problems with Designer or Publisher with OpenCL enabled so far.
When clicking the Brushes tab, it takes 5 to 6 seconds to load and clicking the Styles tab take 20-30 seconds to load and the whole program is frozen until it loads. I am seeing some complete freezes sometimes and I click close and get the Windows crash reporter sending info to Microsoft.
If the Styles tab is already open, before running Photo, it takes 20-30 seconds to start.
Disabling OpenCL solves the problems.
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home

Hey @Old Bruce I figured out a way to do what I wanted in Designer. I was stretching the text tall, so If I put the text on a flatter curve and then Convert to Curves, when I stretch the height, it does not splay out, giving the same result. The trick is, you have to put the text on the right curve so when you stretch it, it gives you the desired curve afterwards, because as you stretch it, the curve increases.

Thanks @Old Bruce
I just started learning Inkscape and their new v1.0 is horrible and won't even give me a uniform outline around stretched text. I had to go backwards and use v0.92.5 to get that simple job done. v1.0 crashed on me 4 or 5 times in 2 days too. I have had enough of Inkscape and am looking at Designer now.

If I put some text on and elliptical path, how can I tilt all of the text so the tops of the letters are not splayed outward as much?
For example, one attached files shows Inkscape text "SUMMERS" on an elliptical path, but the text is oriented so it is more upward rather than splayed out like the other file from Affinity Designer shows.
No Desktop Icons on Installation

When I installed the 2.3.0 update is made my desktop icons all have a large blue margin with the icon small in the middle. How annoying. 🙂
So I made 3 ico files 512x512 and changed the icons to those.
