> I want to copy an image from a webpage into an email... And then the paste fails because the email client tries to download the image.

Personally I haven't had this problem: just like the article says, the browser ‘copies’ image data with a correct mime-type, and the other app pastes the image if it knows about that mime-type. This is on MacOS, with Firefox.

(Though, again personally, I now usually scale the image and convert to webp before sending in a chat—I don't do much email. This way I'm avoiding 4K 4MB pics. I'm probably gonna make me a browser extension to do this automatically.)

You're right however that drag-n-drop doesn't work so smoothly yet.

I often find myself taking screenshots of pictures for that reason. It's not webp, but also not 4k.
