Image Control v1.7.8
Simple addon, to prevents the loading of images either via a black or whitelist based on domain (aka. origins ) It can help to safe traffic on mobile connections and might even make some sites more readable.
Inspired by "Image Block". But since it did not have a black or whitelist feature or a domain based filter, this addon has been created as an alternative.
Note: Not all images can be blocked on the network layer, since images can be included inside document structures in very complex ways. To mitigate this situation the addon uses an addional mechanic, which does not block images, but removes them should those be present. This method is not perfect and will in some cases cause images to briefly appear/display, before they are removed.
Usage:
- Open the addon preferences to switch between black or whitelist mode
- Visit a website which contains images
- Click the toolbar button to add/remove the site origin to/from the active list.
- To make bulk changes use the Export & import buttons on the preferences page
