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 Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.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

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)

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.
