Although a lot of this thread has focused on the issues of UA spoofing, if you're using NoScript, I'm inclined to believe that's the problem.  I

I also make extensive use of NoScript, and in my default settings, I see the same kind of blurring at The Globe. A check of NoScript shows that when I arrive at the Globe's site, scripts presented by bostonglobe.com, googletagmanager, chartbeat.com, blueconic.com, amazon-adsystem and 3 different hosts at cloudfront are all there.

With a little trial-and-error, I find that if I enable bostonglobe.com, then the photos resolve correctly. If that scripting host is enabled, then I see no problems with photos with the default UA, and no spoofing is needed. However, the trade-off is that the scripting host that runs The Globe's paywall, and it takes clicking only an article or two before you get nagged for a subscriber login.

Confirmed as to javascript. I get blur no matter what I do until I reenable js. As for subscriber logins, I routinely get these nags from a variety of news sites, but clearing cookies resets their counters to zero and lets you read a few more articles. But blocking cookies often causes them to refuse to serve any content at all. You have to pretend to cooperate.
