--- Comment #1 from Tisza GergÅ‘ <[email protected]> ---
Just to make sure I don't misunderstand, you want to serve 400px thumbnails to
all devices, and ask the browser to scale it down for small viewports, right?

Two comments on that:

- On mobile, you probably don't want to serve larger-than-necessary thumbnails;
file sizes affect mobile users much more due to lower bandwidth and metered
connections. On desktop, is there a use case for this? The smallest screen size
you will see for desktop users these days is something like 1024x768; would you
scale down the images for a screen of that size?

- There was an RfC that involved client-side resizing:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Standardized_thumbnails_sizes
Quoting the architect decision from there: "Please provide evidence that visual
quality will not be compromised in any popular UA, whether the source is a
photograph, drawing or engraving. Several commenters assert that visual quality
will be compromised."
