Images that are just style (such as backgrounds and other fillers)
can and should be loaded via style sheets.

See for example the CSS Zen Garden:

http://www.csszengarden.com/

Every image is from the style sheet. And the site supports loading in
user-designed style sheets to show you how radically the page can be
changed in CSS. Understand it and become enlightened.

For some reason or another some sites may be unusable without style
sheets loaded. Sometimes this is carelessness, and sometimes malice. But
that's a site bug, not a browser bug.
