Disable images on current site.
What is Images ON/OFF?
Images ON/OFF is a handy Chrome extension designed to give you control over the display of images on websites you visit. With a simple click, you can disable or enable images on the current site. This functionality operates on a per-host basis, meaning it affects only the session in the chosen tab, not all tabs. While there are options available for customization, the core functionality of this extension effectively serves to control image display.

Summary
Use this extension to disable/enable images on the current site.
It's a simple switch: click to disable, click to enable.
It works on "per host" basis and will disable images for the given host (the currently selected tab), not for all hosts.
There are some options available, but basically, the extension does just that and nothing more.

He probado varias extensiones para bloquear imágenes y esta es la que me ha ido mejor con diferencia. Muy cómoda y funciona perfectamente.
Well it works actually but there is a but!
when you turn it on for a website you can only disable it when you remove the extension.
if you press its icon again nothing happens, so you will refresh the page to take effect and when you refresh it the extensions icon will change again, settings did not make any change, I added website to allow list and it did not work because it was on the block list at the same time!
I tried to remove it from block list and it was not possible :D
This is a good extension, but I prefer something like the “Remove Assets” extension because it works with other reading extensions. Compatible extensions include Clearly Reader and Reader View.
I'm guessing that Images ON/OFF functions similarly to the other reading extensions, and there can only be one reload / pop-out. Other extensions like “Image Remover” and “Remove Assets” just remove the images in-place without needing to refresh the page.
Also, I noticed that turning off images with Images ON/OFF will add “Images were blocked on this page” to the URL bar. It adds the web page to your Chrome settings > privacy and security > customized behaviors. There's a risk of forgetting that you added a site to the “Not allowed to show images” list.
