Image scaling causes poor quality in firefox/internet explorer but not chrome

Question

See http://jsfiddle.net/aJ333/1/ in Chrome and then in either Firefox or Internet Explorer. The image is originally 120px, and I\'m scaling down to 28px, but it looks bad pr

Answer 1

Seems Chrome downscaling is best but the real question is why use such a massive image on the web if you use show is so massively scaled down? Downloadtimes as seen on the test page above are terrible. Especially for responsive websites a certain amount of scaling makes sense, actually more a scale up than scale down though. But never in such a (sorry pun) scale.

Seems this is more a theoretical problem which Chrome seems to deal with nicely but actually should not happen and actually should not be used in practice IMHO.
