These annoying base64 encoded thumbnails

Why is FAKKU even using base64 encoded images?
You load the original image after it anyways, so it's not about traffic.

Is there a way to turn them off? (Though I don't think so)
\edit: Oh, I see, there's a No-Script mode, let's check if this works

All images are passed through our CDN which does all sorts of optimizations on the page (including base64 encoding some of the small images). If you base64 encode the image and include it in the html/css on the page it saves having to do an additional request for the image (this speeds up the page, though the added characters make the original html/css file larger).

I know but it breaks my API and the official one is still in development I guess ;)
I think I've found a workaround gonna play around with it.
