I wouldn't block that on images only. It makes no sense to do that for any kind
of resource

+        return;
     if (preload->resourceType() == Resource::Script || preload->resourceType() == Resource::CSSStyleSheet || preload->resourceType() == Resource::ImportResource)
         request.setCharset(preload->charset().isEmpty() ? m_document->charset().string() : preload->charset());
     request.setForPreload(true);
     Platform::current()->histogramCustomCounts("WebCore.PreloadDelayMs", static_cast<int>(1000 * (monotonicallyIncreasingTime() - preload->discoveryTime())), 0, 2000, 20);
     m_document->loader()->startPreload(preload->resourceType(), request);
