Description

It seems that last updates of Crome do not allow to modify Its "flags". So, is no more possible to disable the "lazy images" item, and Chrome (and other browsers too), again, does not show camera images! (Grey area with "rotating symbol"). Using android version, I have erased chrome updates in order to use again the "chrome://flags/#enable-lazy-image-loading" tool, but Chrome soon updates (and Is fine, in terms of security).... Please, has anyone found how to fix this problem with new version of Chrome, or has an idea about how to access to "chrome://flags/#enable-lazy-image-loading" disabling tool with new Chrome release? Thanks misanil

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to workaround Chrome's removal of the lazy image flag by modifying the image loading behavior in motioneye's frontend, e.g., by adding loading='eager' attributes or using JavaScript to preload images.
