Description

It would be nice if you could perhaps prevent images larger than X bytes from loading if you're on a cellular network. And perhaps have to manually verify that you want to view the image?

Or perhaps some way of telling how large it is before opening it?

I'm on a small data plan and I tend to spend more bandwidth on Reddit than I want to. :)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by clarifying whether the goal is a cellular-only size limit, a confirmation prompt, or displaying image size before opening; the completion criteria and affected image-loading path still need to be identified.
