No images load in browsers that don't support media queries

[cbirdsong]

Found an error when doing some testing in IE9 - no images at all. From the look of things, it's because it doesn't support media queries, or specifically matchMedia:

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'matchMedia' 
loading-attribute-polyfill.min.js?ver=1.1.0, line 5 character 1942

I wouldn't expect a first-class lazyloading experience in such an old browser, but ideally images would err on the side of loading inefficiently instead of failing, just like older browsers without IntersectionObserver.

Couldn‘t agree more, valid point !!

Thanks!

Sure, thank you for this finding. Have you positively retested this?

[cbirdsong]

I haven’t – will check it out on Monday.

Okay, no hassle. I‘ll even also make a npm release soon, so than it could get retested this way as well.

I did test it on a local Virtual Machine successfully.
