User reviews

Toggles on/off and you can create settings for image vs scripts. Blocks javascript which can break some sites.. just toggle off. leaves image outline, blocks some icons , grays out video area. I'm seeing some previews. This is the only filter extension I've seen that is quite as encompassing including the javaScripts.

Thank you, thank! I am browsing this website: and it has the most ANNOYING animated flying bat script running that even block element extension couldn't get rid of. This addon works great and doesn't block all images on chrome that other guy is wrong. I'm happy I tried this out that you for restoring my sanity. I mean wth is that site doing using that code, it's not 1990 any more *rolls eyes*

Does what it should, does not download images for websites. Ux is a little dated, but there is also nothing to really understand ^^
