Showing the alternative text while images are loading

Read Original

The article argues that web browsers should display the HTML `alt` attribute text while images are loading, a feature currently only in Firefox. This would improve user experience on slow connections and enhance accessibility by making the importance of descriptive alt text more visible to content authors. The author has filed feature requests with Chrome, IE/Edge, and Safari.
