Description

*** Configuration *** At first, don't forget to set a limit mode and value in the Options of the extension. *** Usage & Hotkeys *** Use Ctrl + mouse move over image for load the original instance. Note that, a host settings (limit mode and value) restores after browser reloading, but the on/off states of tabs does't. If you want to see only small images(like icons) but cut off the big, then set image data size between 1K - 5K. *** Known issues *** 1.On some sites the image fully loading(Ctrl + Mouseover) not working well. It depends on how site was built. I have fixed many issues but I guess that is not all. 2.On some sites a limitation of the image data size is not working. Images loads fully. It happens when a server ignores specific parameter in the request. *** Release notes *** 2.1 - Fix showing on popup host without ".tld". - All net request rules are session now to fixed order of execution. - Fix reload original image after the first load error. 2.0 - First major release. All the best!

Doesn't work at all. Doesn't have any option for "tuning" either. The whole idea is that I may want to disable a single image on a page, not all images. Either way this thing doesn't block anything making it useless.

This app really does block images, and it works well. But it does not remember on what sites to block images and what sites not to. So when I shut down Chrome, and come back to it later, I have to unblock the same sites all over again. This app seriously needs a "white list" option, badly.

It's a very good extension, but without ability to save settings across restarts It is very annoying. only if it could remember the settings per website after restart it would be great!

Good but not perfect, its great that it can selectively choose what to show but the implementation of "ctrl hover" to show the image is less than ideal on sites with alot of picutres. The extension also breaks when it is used with the Bandwidth hero extension.

Best for someone limiting data usage. For simple image on/off, there's a different extension called "Block Image". Tunable Image Block filters by image data (vs pixelated) size Larger images can be off while retaining page sense.. possibly saving toggling on/off.. then again, some images appear partially. If you toggle it off, data setting tends to get lost. Workaround: install the "Block Image" extension as a toggle & be able to keep your setting for on mode. leaves an image frame outline. the space can be adjusted light/dark. doesn't block icons. It becomes difficult to get images back on, so I'm inclined to go with something else. I'd prefer an extension that blocks by pixel size.
