I like https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher-5/ for example. There are others though.

Have the same problem on Mac. Are you sure it's the site's problem solely, @leocg ? The URL always says .gif or .jpg. Only some of those files are saved as .webp when dragging from Opera or Chrome. Opening the same file/URL in Safari or Firefox saves the correct file format from the URL when dragging.

@leocg I read somewhere that browsers like Safari, that DON'T support Google's .webp, force the site to serve gif or jpeg. But what I don't understand is that Chrome and Opera still save webp or webm when the URL actually says gif or jpg. And how to make Opera save the file format that's written in the URL.

@ferrier What the URL says is irrelevant (and may be wrong). For files in web pages the "content-type" in the HTTP response is essential. And of course the actual file data is also important. GIF and WEBP are two totally different file formats and therefore easy detectable for Opera.
As web browser usually don't convert any file formats I assume that if Opera wants to save an image as *.webp it actually is a webp image. You can verify that by downloading the file using a command-line tool like wget and the open the file in an image viewer that displays the actual image type.

@ferrier See https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/faq#how_can_i_detect_browser_support_for_webp
I guess it may help.

I read somewhere that sites that use Cloudflair often force webp when supported. Don't remember the URL though.
