Ok, my “Fuck you, Instagram!” bookmarklet works again. Thanks!
Firefox 75 was released, promoting the native image lazy loading feature. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work with responsive images (using srcset and sizes). It’s definitely not working here nor on my photo journal site. Am I just doing it wrong? I couldn’t find information about this issue, yet.
UPDATE: I needed to put the loading attribute before the srcset attribute on my img tags.

So in the wake of that meeting, we reflect on the onslaught of numbers - what they reveal, and what they hide.
