Hello!

Please let users decide whether they want webp or jpg/png/gif.
I have had to spent time to search and use hacks to change user-agent and accept fields. That's very annoying.
Please add this as option.
In Firefox I can go to about:config and simply uncheck image.webp.enabled

See I'm not the only one:

@marksakharov Just remember that it's the site that decides to use webp or jpg/gif/png)etc, so changing this may not be that easy and cause sites to stop working.

I remember looking at this before and couldn't a way to disable webp. However, for saving purposes, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-image-as-type/gabfmnliflodkdafenbcpjdlppllnemd might help. But, you probably read that here in the second thread you posted.

So, yeah, an option would be great. If you get this implemented in Chromium, Opera should automatically inherit it.
