User reviews
Wizmage Image Hider is praised for effectively blocking or hiding images, which helps users eliminate distractions and manage inappropriate content. Its customization features, such as whitelisting and per-site control, and ease of use make it popular among users seeking better focus. However, some users reported issues with the extension suddenly stopping working after updates, causing page loading problems. Additionally, the extension hides images rather than fully blocking downloads, which might not reduce data usage as expected. Overall, it is valued for enhancing productivity and browsing experience.
Pros
- Effectively blocks or hides images to reduce distractions and inappropriate content.
- Customizable with options to whitelist or blacklist websites for selective image blocking.
- Easy to use with simple toggle features to control image visibility per image or per site.
- Helps improve focus and productivity by minimizing visual stimuli and unwanted ads.
- Maintains page layout even when images are blocked, preserving browsing experience.
Cons
- Sudden malfunctions reported after recent updates causing pages not to load properly.
- Does not completely prevent image downloads; it hides images behind placeholders instead of blocking them entirely.
- Some users noted that transparency or image replacement features may not work as expected.

Darren Goldschmidt, 2025-02-23I really love Wizmage. I no longer have to see inappropriate/random images and can go about my work without distractions.
Imagine not having to see pop up videos, adds urging you to buy goodies, or content flashing in your face. Highly recommend! It's also customizable. I've completely unblocked safe websites, or blocked them partially. Not sure who made this extension... but they are definitely helping a lot of people out.
