 * Hi there,
 * I’m at a bit of a loss as to how to get the webp image showing in chrome using
   the plugin. I’m setting the format to auto, and that seems to be showing in the‘
   insert’ url: [http://screencast.com/t/DSw26L3b](http://screencast.com/t/DSw26L3b)
 * But, when i go to view the image in Chrome (Version 33.0.1750.117 ie latest),
   it’s displaying the jpg file and not the webp, see sample flowers picture at 
   the bottom of this page: [http://www.labourdonnerie.com/a-new-sample-page/](http://www.labourdonnerie.com/a-new-sample-page/),
   screenshot here: [http://screencast.com/t/GIU3XoW1pd](http://screencast.com/t/GIU3XoW1pd)
 * Am I missing something? Or is the browser detection not working properly? I’ve
   tried this on a couple of different sites with different levels of caching and
   i’m getting the same thing each time. Thanks in advance for your help.
 * Apart from that… KICK ASS plugin, loving all the photo effects directly in wp-
   admin!

 * Hi Dave,
 * You can deliver the ‘**f_auto**‘ URL on any browser. The uniqueness about ‘**
   f_auto**‘ is that a WebP image is returned in supporting browsers (e.g., Chrome)
   while JPG is returned on all others.
    You can have a look at the network tab 
   in Chrome and verify that the content type of the returned image is **image/webp**.

   to do to fully understand this! thanks for your help.
