[tor-talk] Base64 Encoded Images: How to block them?

[ratlimo at tormail.org]

Visit news.google.com with images disabled in your browser. You'll notice
[some] images are displayed.

Right click on one of the images and select View Image Info. Now browse
through the files listed and you'll discover some beginning with the
following instead of http://

data:image/jpeg;base64,/

How can I disable the loading of these images when I have image loading
disabled?

Can malware be injected into the browser with this tactic?
