Images Do Not Load On "Open In New Tab" Pages

[D.Dancer]

It is quite frustrating in that I am opening the link in a new tab to allow the page to load fully before I view the page, but sometimes the page does not load animated gifs as expected, so when I view the page, suddenly, I am waiting till the browser downloads the image first.

What's causing that?

The site is probably "lazy loading" the images, meaning they don't start loading until you've scrolled them into view. This keeps their servers from being pummeled with dozens or more image requests at a time. I don't see any add-ons to disable this. Some user scripts exist, though whether they're still up-to-date or work on the sites you visit is another story. If you can't find a suitable one, you can make a request on the forum.

As an update:

The site is probably "lazy loading" the images,

Wrote CSS to overcome this in Stylish per site that aggravates me with this feature.

Code: Select all

.lazyload {
  opacity: 255 !important;
}

For example, on one particular site that was using JavaScript to detect when the element was supposed to be viewed.

opacity only knows 0 to 1.
