I would rather see nothing, or a solid block of colour, than a very blurred image; I have heard this opinion espoused by others as well when the topic comes up. A blurred image, especially with a sharp edge, is surprisingly disconcerting, and having the content change while you’re looking at it too.
I wish people would just leave it to the browser to handle, and I wish that browsers would start improving their approach to this sort of thing so that developers don’t feel the need to mess around with it, because they always get it wrong.
Let me be absolutely clear on this: I hate all scroll-based lazy loading of images.
