Do we need something like `<img srcset="foo 400w bar 800w..." maxdensity="2x">` to prevent browsers with 3x screens from downloading images that are too large? (github.com/whatwg/html/issue… for context)
48%Yes!
34%No, browsers can auto-cap
17%No, not a real problem

Serious question: what can we as developers do to help push Container Queries to implementation? I’d love to contribute somehow. #CSS
