Twitter/X - clickable links to images and show uncropped thumbnails

All image posts in Twitter/X Home, other blog streams and single post views link to the high-res "orig" version. Thumbnail images in the stream are modified to display uncropped.

The "uncropped thumbnail" feature works fine.
However, the "clickable inks to image" feature has recently stopped working.
What used to be a jpg link is now linked to a webp and the linked image is not displayed.

Hi.
It's still working for me - maybe I've simply not come across a webp post.
-> Do you have some example links, please?

Hi, 田中優
Same problem here and i found a solution. You can combo the script with this one: https://greasyfork.org/fr/scripts/387969

However, this doesn't work for tweets with multiples images.

Oh wait. Some of them will work and others not.

Same ask as before - please provide a sample url of a post that doesn't work for you.
All posts in my feed are solely jpg, not a single webp that I can find.

If I have a sample of the breakage, it's likely very easy to fix the script - without it, however...

I had a look at the other script mentioned above.
I don't trust the approach taken there (every webp image is always assumed to have a jpeg original - but there are also png and other formats that one can upload to Twitter) without first being able to reproduce the issue myself.
Instead, I assume the script will have to figure out "somehow" what the original image type is...

So yes, I absolutely need a sample post to reproduce the issue!
(There are things like "A/B Testing" which might explain why I don't encounter this issue myself, currently).

Please have a look at the 4.0 version of this script.

While I still do not get any "webp" myself, I used the links posted by "Electric Oven" to develop a solution.
-> Whenever a Twitter/X "webp" image is opened directly -> the script tests if this fails, and in such a case, it searches for a valid image for the other Twitter-supported image types (jpg, png, jpeg, jfif, pjpeg, pjp).

NOTE: "Right click | Save LINK AS" within a stream will not work for such links - the url correction only occurs after opening the image itself in a new tab.

Please test and provide feedback..
