This little Webkit gem is really nice to see: Bug 200764 – Main implementation for lazy image loading.
Chrome recently started supporting native lazy-loading, being the first, and so far only browser to do so. This concept is such a good idea, it would be a shame for it to remain Chrome only. Having it show up in a future version of Safari would be awesome.
I found two Mozilla bugs filed regarding lazy loading support, 1542784 and 947427. Unfortunately there hasn’t been any movement on either one.

One Year later. Nothing happens. Chrome and Firefox work, Safari not. Bad thing.
Safari has an option for it, under
Develop > Experimental Features > Lazy Image Loading. I haven’t heard anything about when that would be promoted to a regular option ( enabled by default ).
