ImageX

Enable/disable show/hide display of images by altering the Content Settings for a page.

ImageX - Chrome Extension for Toggling Image Display

'ImageX' is a Chrome extension crafted for easy control over image loading on websites. With a simple toolbar button, users can enable or disable the display of images, providing use cases for web developers, those concerned about data usage, and users interested in ad-blocking. The extension achieves this by altering the Content Settings for the URL of the current page, bypassing local caches and ensuring all assets are re-requested for freshness each loading time. Additionally, ImageX helps track image settings across browser sessions, remembering preferences for regular site visits.

User reviews

This extension changes the content settings for the website address, and thus chrome will not render the images. Would be good if "enabling images" would remove the page from the blacklist without whitelisting it as well.

Почти отлично. Чтобы почувствовать эффект, нужно в настройках Хрома выключить загрузку картинок и этим расширением их включать по необходимости. Нет возможности подгружать конкретную картинку при всех прочих выключенных.

Cool but can we get it to remove the element so that the space that the picture had previously taken is compacted to have a shorter page / migrate the text or content closer to each other? Kinda like the difference when using chrome developer tools if you inspect and object then hit hide the image will vanish but the space will remain, like here.. But if you hit remove element it will lose the space until next refresh? What do you think boss?
