To get around this problem , I personally use a ON/Off extension and only load images if article "...is interesting enough ..." But yes, lots of images only have a very weak usefulness ....

What's the extension, if you don't mind?

I'd love an extension that classifies images and somehow blocks stock photos or keeps anything that's not a photo like charts and graphs. For crime and police stories, not that I regularly stumble upon those, I want to see the real crime scene or the real perp, but not a stock photo of a police tape or a judge's gavel. If everything is "off", I wouldn't know what I'm missing.

Just turn off Auto Load Images in Netscape.

Help, I'm now stuck in the 90s. Or at least give me some stock tips or something.
Buy Apple.

And that cheeky little online book store that Jeff Bezos dude is running from his parents' garage: Keep your day job, but also make time to go over there in person and figure out a way to give him all of your money for as long as he'll take it. He'll want to keep calling all of the shots and that's fine. Let him.
