Image preview can crash the browser

Issue #12 resolved
wolfiestyle created an issue

If you enable image previews, it implicitly will autoload external links (outside twitter embedded media). This can cause automatic preview of high resolution images, like high-res satellital photos or stuff like that. Those huge images can cause slowdown and browser crash (happened to me a few times). There should be a separate option to enable/disable embedded image previews and external image previews.

    I never got a crash because of this reason so far, but I understand that it can be a troublesome issue. I'll see what I can do in the next version to avoid the issue ;)
