Wizmage Image Hider

Wizmage Image Hider is a Chrome extension designed to hide images on webpages gracefully, minimizing any disruption to your browsing experience. Instead of simply blocking images, it replaces them with colored textures, preserving the layout and functionality of websites. Small images and background patterns remain visible to maintain visual integrity.

Users can reveal any hidden image by hovering over it and clicking the eye icon or using keyboard shortcuts (ALT-a to show, ALT-z to hide). The extension supports an exception list to disable image hiding on specific domains or URLs, as well as a blacklist mode to enable the feature only on selected sites. Control options are accessible via the extension icon, including domain-level exceptions, image toggling, and pause functionality for individual tabs or altogether.

Wizmage focuses on performance by using raw JavaScript without heavy libraries and updates automatically to continuously improve. While it doesn't reduce bandwidth usage, it enhances user control over images seen during browsing without sacrificing page usability. Source code and additional info are openly available, making it a practical choice for users seeking customizable image hiding in Chrome.
