It's sad, but unfortunately not surprising, to see that Google still doesn't care about Firefox on Android.

"This is entirely server-side UA sniffing going wrong. You get an empty HTML doc, only a doctype, with a Firefox Android UA."

If you want to see what it's like, here's a 3-minute demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbct025ARps

Or is the idea that they’d be installed through an alternative App Store?

The <img> element now supports lazy-loading, async decoding, Priority Hints and more. I wrote about some of them for the StackOverflow blog: https://bit.ly/soimgs

Helpful if optimizing UX & performance.

Picture perfect images with the modern <img> element

You may not think about images as part of your web dev work, but they can affect your web app's performance more than any other part of your code.
