I switched to w3m almost completely* for El Reg (cuts both the white wastelands and immense immages from the Monstrous Makeover). The alt text displayed for that image is Bush in Game of Thrones; hardly a hidden attempt at political manipulation.
*I do use the "night theme" on xombrero from time to time, but something on El Reg seems to kill xombrero regularly, even without js)
