We need more clever ways to load, lazyload images and fetch resolution of images

1. sometimes I need Opera-like "click to load this image"

2. sometimes I only need to load images in the "first fold" (this is especially true when loading 100 photos in forums and in gmail when I need only first 5-20

In other words, users need more options instead of "on" and "off"

Some inspiration:

- https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/lazy-loading-guidance/images-and-video/ - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-image-blocker/

3. for questions about current tabs

3.1. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API

3.2. https://www.w3.org/TR/page-visibility/

4. for questions about current element?..

5. Firefox must plan for new HTTP header about image size (when images are "off" we can download only image resolution and use it in layout)

Hi, it would seem like you do not have a question so unfortunately the info you have provided is not in the right place to be acted on. I would guess you thought developers or employees would see this but no as this is staffed by users like you who Volunteer their time.

You can put this to the right place by clicking on Help --> Submit Feedback and it will be reviewed by a team of specialists.

Thanks for your insights.
