[Classic] Lazy Loading Image support #6

Open reaper666735 opened 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Recently more and more pages seem to favour using "Lazy-Loading Images" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_loading) to reduce bandwidth and improve page load times, and it seems that even the latest 2021.6 version does not support this ...

as this trend seems to continue it would be very much appreciated if this feature could be implemented :)

Additional context

here is an example screenshot (weirdly can't upload it normally via Github ... )

There are few solutions to do that, so maybe you should be more specific what you want.

I know some sites, which has lazy loading and that's working fine on WF Classic.

Can you give some example URL?

If that's about loading attribute, then I see that could be a lot of work, so I suppose that you won't see it that soon and officially Waterfox Classic will receive only security updates, so for new features you can only count on contributors like me. Currently mainly I'm trying to cross easier path and port what Moonchild Productions has and isn't available on Classic :smile:.

it's the same as in the screenshot, one of the admins confirmed they recently changed to 'Lazy-loading' on their Discord server and some like me (Waterfox users) have been dealing with this issue since then, they didn't tell me in detail how they implemented this obviously :p

From analyze of console longs results that probably Nullish Coalescing operator needs to be implemented to fix that. Moonchild has also that in checklist, so if they do that someday, then maybe I'll see what can be done too.

any fresh news regarding this "issue" ? :p

For anyone programmer interested => Seamonkey dev told me that he ported Nullish Coalescing for his browser. https://gitlab.com/frg/seamonkey-253-patches/-/commit/f66b99df8e6ea43b840161046ed77ffb1b888a82
