Which is necessary to save bandwidth and to keep page load times low. It's just that the strength of the compression has been set to a value that's in many cases way too high, which results in ugly pictures. Let's stick to the same example that i used 8 years ago: [DEVIATION] It looks fine from a distance, fine when you scroll past it quickly. And also rather fine when viewed on a high-DPI display. But when you look closer, you're seeing the compression: [DEVIATION] This is what it looked like originally: [DEVIATION] Luckily, there is a fix. I even wrote about it in my last journal (the one that i linked to above), so i won't repeat it here. Now
