Windows 10: Microsoft Edge will soon support WebP image format

Microsoft remains committed to the Edge browser and the company recently announced that they have started implementing support for Google’s WebP image format in Windows 10’s default browser.

Today Microsoft published a new extension in the Store called “WebP Images format” that’s supposed to enable support for the new image format in Edge. It is, however, worth noting that the extension doesn’t seem to be working. If you install the extension from the Store, the Edge browser will still display some gibberish text instead of the supposed image.

It appears that the Edge will soon support the WebP image, and we are now one step closer.

Google explains WebP is an image format employing both lossy and lossless compression. It is currently developed by Google, based on technology acquired with the purchase of On2 Technologies.

You can find the extension here.

Microsoft Edge TLS Security


After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately: How to fix Cant connect securely to this page in Microsoft Edge unsafe TLS security settings - YouTube

For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

2. Type internet options

3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

4. Click on the advanced tab

5. Scroll down to the security section

6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
Use SSL 3.0
Use TLS 1.0
Use TLS 1.1
Use TLS 1.2

7. Click apply

8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.
