>>Imagine a simple image gallery. You just update the <img> tag, update the URL with the history API and everybody is happy. If you were to navigate via links, you get the same behavior. Please, don't! Just give me a page with thumbnails that are direct links to the original pictures! That's million times easier, works blazingly fast and I wouldn't need to spend so much time clicking multiple times to save each pic, which is the best case! The worst is serving me blobs of PNG instead of original pics. That's pure hostility.
