2024-10-20	Seoyeon Park	en	Awesome extension, does as advertised. Would be great if there wasn't a split-second pause before images got hidden but maybe that is out of the dev's control.

2024-06-05	Abner Wirtz	en	Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn
2024-05-20	Hdrx	en	It was perfect but since the last update (19 may 2024) I can't watch youtube videos when the extension is on. Edit: They corrected it pretty quickly and now you can choose to "disable videos" in the options. Good job guys !
2024-05-25	BaSsGaZ	en	Works but would have loved if the images are blocked, instead of getting hidden AFTER they appear for a second.
2024-05-24	TEFL	en	Its pretty good. It would be better if I can watch instagram reels without seeing peoples faces and whatsapp video calls without seeing peoples faces. Maybe see like silhouettes instead. Ik that sounds arbitary but it is a text ad on...
2024-02-17	Felipe Rivas	en	While this extension tends to work well, it definitely isn't 100% and the worst part of it is that sometimes, at random points, a few images here and there will suddenly appear. For no real reason. Like if you're on a website, all images are grey boxes- cool, it works. But then the images (in black and white form though) may appear randomly after a while or if you click on another page or article or video on a website- then they may appear. So, the fact that it's like playing Russian roulette is why I am giving this a 1-star review. Also, video DOES tend to load, unlike advertised.
2024-02-06	Jake King	en	Does not block all images. It's a mixed bag. You never know what you're going to get. Don't waste your time, seriously.
2024-02-05	Mandra Mandra	en	The extension works so well with DuckDuckGo until I try Google that loads some images (formats). So please update and include some other formats. Thanks a lot!
