User Reviews
Users appreciate Hide Images for its simplicity and effectiveness in quickly hiding most images without refreshing the page, aiding web development and accessibility tasks, and providing a quieter browsing experience. However, common issues include the extension hiding images by blanking rather than blocking downloads, leaving background images visible, lack of alt text display, limited customization options, and the need to re-enable it after restarting Firefox. Pros
- Simple and easy to use; toggles image visibility with one click.
- Effectively hides or blanks out most images as promised.
- Useful for web development and accessibility checking by disabling images.
- Does not require page refresh to enable or disable image hiding.
- Helps create a less distracting browsing environment, especially at work.
Cons
- Does not block image downloads; images are still loaded despite being hidden.
- Background images are not hidden, limiting effectiveness.
- Alt text is not shown when images are hidden, affecting accessibility.
- No option to customize behavior like showing a solid color instead of images or more granular control.
- Extension settings are not persistent across browser restarts; user must re-enable.

A bit too simple for my preferences (all or nothing), but it does indeed hide images, thank you.

Is Hide Images Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Hide Images requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
