I am developing a website page on brave when I noticed unnecessary request were made to the server. So I have tried narrowing the case down to this demo over here to reproduce the weird behavior.
Ref: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/6863
Expectation
A standard <img src="..." /> tag should request the said resources only once.
The problem
The page request the same URI twice.
Each request you see on this image below returned 2 different image. Only the first one were rendered on the screen. Yet The second request do fetch another completely different image from the server.
The weird part
The problem only happen when the <img> tag is in between two heading / paragraph tag. And it will only happen when the first paragraph has more than 4 word. The problem does not happen if the first paragraph has fewer words. That is for me is weird. Yet, this situation is likely to happen on a regular web document.
Reproducing
A simple web page should be able to reproduce the case.
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Images</title>
<meta name="date.modified" content="Sun, 10 Nov 2019 03:01:15 GMT" />
</head>
<body>
<p>0 1 2 3 4</p>
<img src="https://placeimg.com/160/120" />
<p>0</p>
</body>
Brave version
I am using Brave is up to date Version 0.70.123 Chromium: 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)
PS: I hope this issue get solved quickly. Because it may cause large image to be loaded multiple times more than necessary.
