How to see the alt text of an image? #15

I can't find how to reveal the alt text of an image. Is there something I have missed or is it not implemented yet?

woheller69 commented 6 months ago

if images are switched off (and connection is set as metered) images are not loaded, instead you see a text if there is one

Thanks, that will do for now, although I was expecting something more suitable for comic strips like XKCD or Stonetoss where they use alt text for an additional punchline.

more is not possible in WebView to my knowledge

I also see that I can find the alt text in tge page's source. Nice feature I've been missing in so many mobile browsers!
