Every single article I've read on responsive images has adopted the same angle: they're fantastic, and you should use them now.

In this post, I'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's why I explored an alternative way of having a sort of makeshift responsiveness to images.

Obviously, it's not perfect, and I wrote why in the conclusion, but it did get me some pretty decent performance improvements!
