Details

An image tag can have a decoding attribute to decide whether an image should be decoded asynchronously or not. Chrome and Safari default to sync decoding, but Firefox defaults to async decoding (see-also: MDN).

This can have minor visual effects, like flickering in galleries when the JS shows the image on its load event instead of, for example, explicitly waiting for the decode().
