I switch off stylesheets manually sometimes for one reason or another, and I
have notices that pictures do disappear from some websites, even though I can
display them by typing their address into the address bar.

I know that the early browsers never used to make pictures disappear like
this, so it is due to a code change made in the browser at some point in
time. Pictures should still display with the stylesheet gone, so there are
some bugs in the browser in this area.
