## Description

## Block Image|Video Chrome Extension

Block Image|Video is a handy Chrome extension designed to let you easily block or hide images, videos, and other media with just a single click. After installation, a toolbar button appears that, when active, shows in red enabling the extension's functionality.

You can customize which items to block or hide via the options page. Blocking prevents media from loading, speeding up page loads and reducing data usage, whereas hiding keeps media loaded but invisible. This flexibility lets you tailor your browsing experience for speed, privacy, or focus.

Please note you must configure the items to block or hide before using. For bug reports and more information, visit the extension's homepage.

Enjoy faster, cleaner web browsing by controlling images and videos effectively with Block Image|Video!
