Browser issue Lazy loading and Safari 15.4

[Mike S]

Affected version

XenForo 2.2.8 Patch 1

Hello.

I am testing Safari 15.4, which will be released next week, in which they have activated the lazy loading of images.

I don't know if it only happens with Xenforo, but the images are not cached, they are always loaded from the network with lazy loading.

I think it's more of a Safari problem, but I haven't tried it with other pages, but it does happen on Xenforo forums.

Has anyone noticed?

I noticed the same issue also in Firefox on Windows. Idk what the real reason.
Chrome uses cache normally.

Yes same problem with Firefox on Mac. Here's what I do to fix the issue:

To disable lazy load in Firefox follow these steps:

1. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar.
2. Click on the Accept the Risk and Continue button when the warning page is displayed.
3. In the top search bar, enter dom.image-lazy-loading.enabled.
4. Toggle the preference to false.

I can confirm this issue still exists in Safari on Ventura but no longer appears to be an issue on Firefox, at least on macOS.

Either way, there's nothing we can do about this. It just seems browser implementations may differ.
