This extension is very useful, but unfortunately it may no longer be supported soon. I recommend a similar plug-in "Hide Images|Videos" for everyone to try. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lnemmogegmgllangfmlpclaomcknfnbp

It works well but has no additional features. You can give it better performance by adding a series of features. Like adding a list of sites whose images are never black or vice versa
