How do I get around all the sites that won't display images unless I
enable JS? :(

It depends on what the JS does, how that code works. If the JS loads an
image from another URL then consider installing a free URL rewriter and
then tell it what URLs to look out for and how to rewrite them. Perhaps if
you cited an example people in-the-know could help you.

I think https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector might be of help to do
this, or possibly using a side-effect of HTTPS Everywhere (which
essentially does the same thing but with a different aim).

I also suggest posting this to a newsgroup or mailing list where you're
more likely to find technical web browser users, people who develop browser
extensions. I imagine those users are likely to be able to point you in the
right direction.

A workaround I sometimes try is changing the user-agent to Google search engine. It works for this image:

Also, sometimes you need to figure out the direct link to the image. This image doesn't work for me:

but this one does (adding i. after // and then .jpg at the end):
