Review summary

Image Block is praised when it works, especially for saving data and being easy to toggle. However, many reviews cite reliability problems (inconsistent blocking) and UI visibility issues (missing toolbar icon). Some users also worry about maintenance/compatibility with Firefox versions. Overall, it’s valued when functional but unreliable for many users and occasionally hard to use due to UI and update concerns.

Pros

Blocks images to save data/bandwidth.
Works as described on many sites when it functions.
Easy to toggle on/off via a toolbar button.
Considered an essential Firefox extension by some users.
Improves readability by removing images on pages (e.g., homepage reading is clearer).

Cons

Reliability is inconsistent: multiple reviews report it does not block images reliably or at all on some pages.
Toolbar/icon visibility is problematic: users cannot easily find or access the toggle in several reviews.
Occasional maintenance/compatibility concerns: some users feel the add-on may be outdated or not maintained, affecting functionality.

2024-08-29	*****	Isn't clear as if it disable loading (low footprint on RAM/CPU) elements on webView or if it doesn't download (data saving) such elements to begin with (so nothing to disable loading of because lack of resources)
