It doesn't matter if I am dragging and dropping or use "save as" the result is still the same.<br />
Is there an option to disable this or even to disable the .webp for mat for the entire browser like it's not supported?</p>
<p dir="auto">! If possible I would like to not do this by adding another extensions. I have way too many at this point. I think this should be a basic feature that maybe I am missing!</p>
<p dir="auto">NB: Please skip if you are going to explain to me how the website is forcing Opera to save in webp. Thank you!</p>

With an extension, you can modify Opera's Accept header to not mention image/webp so that sites serve you an alternative like png or jpg (if they provide one).</p>
<p dir="auto">Create a folder named "nowebp" and then, create the following two files in it:</p>
<p dir="auto">manifest.json:</p>
<pre><code>{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "Set Accept Header",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "Sets the Accept request header for all URLs",
  "permissions": [
    "declarativeNetRequest",
    "declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess"
  ],
  "host_permissions": [
    "&lt;all_urls&gt;"
  ],
  "declarative_net_request": {
    "rule_resources": [
      {
        "id": "ruleset_1",
        "enabled": true,
        "path": "rules.json"
      }
    ]
  }
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">rules.json:</p>
<pre><code>[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "priority": 1,
    "action": {
      "type": "modifyHeaders",
      "requestHeaders": [
        {
          "header": "Accept",
          "operation": "set",
          "value": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.7"
        }
      ]
    },
    "condition": {
      "urlFilter": "*",
      "resourceTypes": [
        "main_frame",
        "sub_frame",
        "stylesheet",
        "script",
        "image",
        "object",
        "xmlhttprequest",
        "ping",
        "csp_report",
        "media",
        "font",
        "websocket",
        "other"
      ]
    }
  }
]
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Then, goto the URL <code>opera://extensions</code>, turn on developer mode, click "Load unpacked" and point it to the nowebp folder. Then, set "allow access to search page results" for the extension if needed.</p>
<p dir="auto">And, of course, there are extensions at <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/save%20image%20as" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/save image as</a> that allow you to right-click an image and save it as a certain type.</p>
<p dir="auto">Besides those, you'd need to install a local HTTP proxy (with TLS support) that allows you to modify headers that you run Opera through.</p>

Either the site needs to change or you will need to find an extension that changes the format of the image.</p>
