At last my prayers have been answered. In version 20 of Firefox In addition to private browsing by tabs, we will have a new feature in the browser, which is that it will first load the style sheets and scripts, to later load the images when we access a page or website.
This is not new to me, since this same feature seems to me to be the one that implements Opera, and that is the reason why it makes the Norwegian browser one of the fastest on the market.
I always wanted that Firefox did this, I even looked for extensions to achieve this goal but to no avail. According to the news that I read in this site, Ehsan Akhagi developed from Mozilla wrote:
“I don't know what our heuristic looks like in load priorities, but it seems to me that images (at least the ones that do not affect layout) should have a lower priority compared to stylesheets and scripts so that we can be able to get something faster on screen. "
And now is it that they notice? ¬¬
Preliminary tests done by the developer of Mozilla, Patrick McManus, shows some promising results. Using the popular social media site Pinterest As an example, the wait time to get something to appear on the screen was reduced from 3,4 seconds to 1,6 seconds.
