HTML Content Blocker provides a user-friendly interface to quickly block various HTML contents (Script, Style, Image, Object, and Media) on any webpage.

To work with this addon, please open the toolbar popup and press the desired content button (at the top) to block, then reload the tab. This extension has two modes to operate.

No longer stops media from playing. It worked before, but not any more.

Quite nice. The people complaining likely didnt watch the short how-to video above. Thanks for creating. A few suggestions for improvement. 1. instead of whitelisting, add the ability to save settings for different websites (this would take care of whitelisting and allow dialing in your experience for diff sites (ie. turn off images for youtube, turn off everything but style for yahoo, etc) 2. some websites like linkedin wont even load if images is turned off - im not exactly sure why but debugging this would be great.
