User reviews

Users appreciate Easy Image Blocker for its simple approach to selectively blocking images and improving browsing comfort, especially through its whitelist feature. However, many report issues with persistent settings, unreliable whitelist performance, lack of blacklist functionality, and limited in-addon whitelist editing. UI clarity and developer support are also concerns, leading to inconsistent experiences and user frustration despite the addon's usefulness.

Pros

Easy to use interface and straightforward functionality to block or allow images per site.
Allows setting a whitelist to unblock images on selected sites.
Helps reduce unwanted or offensive images, improving user browsing experience.
Works independently per tab if configured properly.
Lightweight and serves the core purpose of image blocking effectively on many sites.

Cons

Whitelist editing is not user-friendly; requires export/import as it's not editable directly in the popup.
Settings or preferences (such as default load mode) often do not persist after closing and reopening Firefox.
Lack of blacklist functionality; only whitelist is supported, limiting flexibility.
Whitelist does not always work reliably; sometimes images remain blocked on whitelisted sites.
Occasional bugs cause blocking to fail or inconsistencies in image loading behavior.
Some UI labels and instructions are unclear or confusing, especially regarding controls like 'ctrl+click then modeup'.
Add-on development and support seem inactive; issues remain unresolved with poor transparency.
