Considering not being able to view content in a browser as a much, much bigger accessibility problem for you than missing alt text demonstrates a total lack of empathy. You can easily change your browser, if only temporary, whereas someone with visual impairments that is unable to perceive the image without alternative text cannot do anything about it.
