Agreed! Many working a typical 9-5 corporate job don't realize some of the big hurdles we have as a small business/freelancer.

I can only dream of having the insurance I had back when I was working a corporate job. 😅

But then I wouldn't give up my flexibility/freedom for anything. Pros and cons.

Correct, we are simply excluding those now for better compatibility to ensure the wrong image doesn't get an early hint attribute on the wrong device.

Should have been there from the start, so we're still improving things. We're almost ready to remove our "beta" label on this. 😄
