Summary

Analyze keywords

QuickBlock is made up of two content blockers (an image blocker and a script blocker) that can be turned on and off separately. Each content blocker internally uses your browser's built-in content blocker that targets the same content type to block contents efficiently. For example, if you turn on the image blocker, it temporarily takes control of the built-in image blocker to block images for all websites. And if you turn it off, the built-in image blocker is restored to its original settings.

You can turn content blockers on and off using:

toolbar icon
keyboard shortcut

Recent 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*
