It is tricky to fashion a general facility to distinguish between
relevant and irrelevant images as you can imagine. Best I can
suggest is this, open in FF (equipped with free developer tools)
and turn off all css and probably javascript too. Save as
webpage. Open the saved in a browser. If too rich for you still,
just delete the associated folder which contains all the images
and other stuff, or inspect the folder and be rid things
selectively - but this is not what you want to do). I am afraid
there is nothing as intelligent as you for this job.
