Comment (by addyosmani):

 **Browser updates on native-lazyloading:**

 The specification for native image lazy-loading has been merged into the
 HTML standard as of this last week:
 https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/3752#issuecomment-585202516

 Firefox sent out their intent to prototype and ship support:
 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mozilla.dev.platform/3CH2pXxTWl4/xXc4_7QJBQAJ
 (demo: https://twitter.com/addyosmani/status/1228050983076290561)

 Support has also landed in WebKit (TBD if this ships in a version of
 Safari): https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200764

 Exciting times that hopefully helps move the conversation here along... :)
