November 14, 2012I don’t really know of a way how to decrease image quality in firefox! Opera has a turbo option, which is for slow speed internet connection!
But, I can suggest you read these posts:

November 14, 2012You can turn off image loading altogether in firefox;
Tools->Options
Content: Load images automatically (uncheck this)
EDIT
Well, the image data that comes from the server is (99.9% of the time) compressed. You couldn’t just get a ‘low-quality’ version of it without specifically asking for it. Sorry.

November 14, 2012You cannot change the image quality. You can use Opera to do that, you can turn the Turbo Mode on, it will decrease the image quality.

November 14, 2012If you’re concerned by the size of the page the browser is loading and you can be settle for only text, so just go in your browser setting and select the option that say: do not load image. But if you’re looking for a way to decrease the image quality, I don’t think that there is such a way to do it.

November 14, 2012There’s no way to request a different image from the server, which may or may not exist.
Apart from which, the images on MakeUseOf are the fastest element; it’s the javascripts which take longer to download, but if you disable those, the site will break. I guess what I’m trying to say is – stop trying to break the internet, and just get a better connection. Unless you’re running on a 56k modem, this really shouldnt be an issue.

November 14, 2012You cannot change the quality of images using a web browser (opera). If the web developer had made the image quality badly, it is impossible to replace the pixels to increase its image quality.
