I just learnt about CSS image-rendering: optimizespeed, which is a switch to make all pictures on a website look bad

example: all pictures on teenage.engineering

maybe it's just Firefox's fault

@noiob they load fine for me on firefox, altho on the op1 page it took a couple of seconds for them to render at non pixelated quality

@MochiWaifu yeah they load like, fifteen megabyte pictures

but then they tell Firefox to scale them badly?

@noiob oh yeah, apparently it's a synonym for nearest neighbor filtering
and it's very obvious on the images now that i look at em

@MochiWaifu it would look less bad if I didn't have to send my 1440p monitor back, but unfortunately

@noiob nah it looks real bad on 1440p too

second pic is me overriding the css style with high-quality

@MochiWaifu I think they use the pixel filter while it's loading for style, and then don't remove it (except they do on Chrome)
