Waiting for browser support: makeshift responsive images

Every single article I&#x27;ve read on responsive images has adopted the same angle: they&#x27;re fantastic, and you should use them now.<p>In this post, I&#x27;m presenting a less popular opinion, namely that the new specification for responsive images is nowhere near having enough browser support, especially in the very devices that need it. That&#x27;s why I explored an alternative way of having a sort of makeshift responsiveness to images.<p>Obviously, it&#x27;s not perfect, and I wrote why in the conclusion, but it did get me some pretty decent performance improvements!
