Image Blocker - A Chrome Extension for Image Control

Image Blocker is an innovative Chrome extension designed to provide users with control over the visibility of images on web pages. On a single click, Image Blocker enables you to hide or reveal images on-the-fly, adopting a true Opera-style functionality. However, please note, Image Blocker is not designed for traffic-saving as it doesn't stop image downloading.

User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Pros

Easily toggle images between hidden and shown
Blocks images on new pages effectively
Simple and effective for specific use cases like anxiety reduction

Cons

Does not block images completely; they are visible before being hidden
Lacks domain whitelisting options
Does not block all types of images, especially those embedded in CSS or specific sites like Yahoo

Most mentioned

Images are still loaded before being hidden
Ineffectiveness in blocking all desired images
Desire for more granular control over image blocking (e.g., whitelisting)

User reviews

This allows images to show for a few seconds before hiding them so it fails in its main function. Suggest using browser built-in blocker (in Brave it is under Settings > Privacy and Security > Site and shields > images)

Useless

total garbage. I got it to be able to sign petitions online (but cannot bear the horrific images with them) and I downloaded this useless app and still got every.single.image. in my face.
