Chrome extension for comfortable image blocking.
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
Pros
- Helps users with anxiety by blocking images that trigger panic attacks
- Allows users to toggle images on and off easily
- Doesn't break page layouts when hiding images
Cons
- Images are visible for a few seconds before being hidden, which defeats the purpose of blocking them
- Does not remember user preferences for blocking images on specific websites after Chrome is closed
- Blocks all images rather than allowing users to choose which ones to block
- Does not work for images that appear while scrolling down a page
Most mentioned
- The extension fails to truly block images as they are loaded before being hidden
- Some users report it as useless or total garbage due to its limitations
- The extension may be more suited for specific use cases rather than general image blocking
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)

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.
