I'm not certain.
I know that at launch it only obscured your IP address.[0] I don't know if they've changed the default behavior since then. Of course there is a setting to disable images -- maybe in recent years they've switched it to being on by default. Someone other than me would need to confirm, since I've had my images turned off for years now.

- golem14 7y agoThis article seems to confirm my memory: “Note: you can turn automatic loading off and gain the privacy benefits of the proxy anyway.” Not a panacea because sometimes you just need to see the images, but most of the time I never actually need any included images.
