Describe The Feature Request Below

jerboa's list view currently eagerly loads links' preview images.
on metered connections, it may be desirable to disable this so as to conserve bandwidth.
as such, it would be nice to see such a low-bandwidth mode added to jerboa.

c.f. #584 which mentioned this consideration as well

related #716

A low-bandwidth mode could also decrease the thumbnail size when requesting from pictrs, that'd be easy enough.
