The pictures online are all extremely low-resolution and pixelated. Facebook seems to be the site I notice it most on. It's like all the pictures were taken with early 2000's camera phones. I know the pictures don't look that bad.

Does that also happen if you open an image directly in a browser tab?

Do you have an ISP or use a low bandwidth (wireless) connection that could cause it?

I tried opening a picture directly, and the pictures still come out pixelated. Facebook seems to be the only site I'm having problems with, but I'm chalking that up to possible image type discrepancies.
