Article makes good points and how the <picture> element should be used instead. It's surprising to see how many sites use background images on everything when they can use CSS but I can see developers simply implementing what the designer provided them with. I use the the Wizmage Image Hider browser extension which disables all images by default which makes websites load so much faster and you can whitelist domain or individual images to always show.
