Sir, this isn’t Reddit. Calm down. :) And now tell me how to batch-crop and export multiple images as .webp, if it’s doable in Krita. Because I don’t know how.
Calm down.
Why would I be not calm? I’m not the one getting nervous at looking at other alternatives.

Use the right tool for the job instead of complaining.
If something was previously the right tool for the job, then, despite no apparent changes in the behavior of the user, is intentionally broken by the creator of the tool and is no longer suitable - that is absolutely, 100% worth complaining about.
IMHO.
that is absolutely, 100% worth complaining about.
So commercial-grade batch processing of images on other people’s infrastructure and dodging any form of compensation is 100% worth complaining about? OK.
Thank you, that’s my opinion as well. I know developers need to put food on the table, but then they should at least be honest about that. Going into the uBlock Github and trolling people there while claiming you “always supported ad blockers” isn’t the right way and I am not financially supporting developers who act like this.

Are you financially supporting literally any developers at all? You made it clear you were not paying for a Photopea subscription and were using uBO, so there’s not a carrot or a stick here for the maintainer of Photopea (I guess there’s a very tiny carrot for losing you as a user in that you’re not using their resources). I mean that as a genuine question, by the way:

You were not financially supporting the developers before either. You admitted that you do frequent batch processing of many images on their infrastructure. If anything, losing you as a user is saving them money.
Bro why you being mad cringe try just suggesting things instead of being a dick
I did suggest many things, from how to crop in Krita, using ImageMagick, that Gimp is fully capable of cropping (OP refused to use Gimp for that task because it’s “shit” in his eyes), how to look up open source alternatives on GitHub (I found a bunch, including a python GUI application running locally), etc.
OP made a many BS claims, by insisting that he needs batch processing but when suggesting to self host, he refuses this by saying that he’s only cropping 5 images.
I’m envious of your energy if you’re willing to spend it to set up a self hosted thing to batch process 5 images when there’s an off the shelf solution that works just fine but has ads. Sometimes the job is big enough to be annoying to do it one way but not too big to be worth the trouble of setting up an entire GitHub repo locally.
I’m not the one getting nervous at looking at other alternatives.
I am not nervous, I am mildly infuriated.
Use the right tool for the job
imagemagick certainly isn’t the right tool for batch-cropping, unless the cropped area is always in the same place. But thank you for at least trying to suggest an actual solution instead of patronizing me.
I am mildly infuriated.
Calm down.
You could try Irfanview. Its not FOSS and its at a cost if this is a commercial thing
Have you tried using the BIMP plugin for GIMP? It might be an option? thegimptutorials.com/how-to-do-batch-processing/

Yeah krita definitely isn’t the right tool for bulk jobs. You might want to look into learning to use imagemagick’s command line tools, they’re pretty much the gold standard for bulk image tasks
