This is OK for icon sized images, but it hurts me when I read webpages that incorporate photographs or visualizations in low resolution. They keep saying “Web resolution” and talk about something like 200x200 images maximum.

Even for the past 20 years, when I read webpages with images, I inspect them closely. Often it’s something like a newspaper article with photographs or Wikipedia. I specifically set my Wikipedia settings to deliver me images at the highest possible resolution and now I can actually enjoy reading it. Specifically I use the Timeless skin and set the thumbnail size to the maximum.

Sometimes I come across webpages that describe something like historic trains and all they have are icon sized photographs of them. It’s so sad.
