Just my two pence worth, but the main advantage that IrfanView has for me is that it'll view just about any image you can find, with the possible exception of .bpg and .heif images, but even so it's incredibly small, 64 bit build is just a bit over two megs for the exe, which in turn makes it incredibly fast. Double click an image, it's open so fast you just don't see a delay.
