Description

It would be nice if it was possible to add the option to load images at lower quality for bandwidth saving, with a HQ button on image view of course. I guess you'll know what I'm talking about, every other reddit client has that option.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the image-view entry point and existing image-loading flow; determine how a lower-quality default and an HQ control should work. Done means image viewing supports bandwidth-saving quality with an explicit way to request HQ images.
