Description
For 2 years now, there has been a native functionality in chrome and firefox to lazyload natively in browser instead of js. https://web.dev/browser-level-image-lazy-loading/
Right now it is supported in all modern browsers, except Safari (that still considers it experimental) https://caniuse.com/loading-lazy-attr
So could we get the option to add the lazyload natively, and save on the JS?
