Extension summary

Ever wanted to surf the web without seeing all the images, but haven't found a method that keeps full Internet functionality?

This extension provides a solution: (NOTE: It does not save bandwidth - see later.)

It hides the images by displaying a coloured texture where they would be. Small images, and many background patterns are recognized, and will always displayed.

Any individual image can be displayed simply by moving the mouse cursor over it, and clicking on the eye that appears (or press ALT-a). The eye will then turn into an undo symbol - click on it to hide the image again (or press ALT-z).

There is an exception list (right click the icon and click Options). When navigating to a URL that contains one of these exceptions, Wizmage will be disabled for that page. For example, if you have 'google.com' as an exception, then the whole google.com domain will be excepted. If you have 'blog' as an exception, then all URLs containing the word 'blog' will be excepted.

You can also have a Black List, whereby Wizmage only runs on selected sites. This options can be found in the Options page.

An extension icon appears in the top right of the browser - clicking it displays 5 options:

  1. Add or remove the current domain name as an exception.

Действительно самый лучший блокировщик картинок. Мне нравтся что можно блокировать сайты выборочно.
