Try reading a math page on an iPhone with a spotty connection. All the images now only load when tapped. So after the page loads, I've got to scroll down, open each collapsed paragraph, and tap each image separately, before I lose signal on the subway.

Unfortunately certain iPhones do not have MutationObserver support. This is not the case on newer ones.

There's an open bug to allow you to opt out of this however we've been a bit stretched to find the time to work on this.

I would love a preference setting for this. Thank you!
