| 2024-10-29 |  | | en | This extension is well-suited for Manifest V3, which seems to be the only system it currently supports. Previously, controlling any website was more straightforward, but now we need to rely on headers for this purpose. The main concern with this approach is that certain websites may not function as expected, especially if they don't support adding headers. I didn't added another star because description and title doesn't fit well for it. |

| 2022-06-07 |  | | en | Please bring an update for this extension, matching with chrome version 101. sometime its not showing any image in webpages (but all setting are ok), fix this please. |
| 2023-05-06 |  | | 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! | |

| 2022-12-19 |  | | 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. | |

| 2022-07-08 |  | | 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. | |
