It's a switch to toggle whether or not the browser will load images.
I like to tether my laptop to my phone, and this way I can ensure my data will last as long as possible.
I previously used Image Block but since it has not been converted to a web extension, I figured I'd learn how to write a web extension and do it myself.
Hardly.
There's still lots of improvements that could be done in the future, such as:
- whitelisting certain pages
- loading only images below a certain size
- alernately blacklisting certain pages
- allow toggling on a per-tab basis
Meta-improvements to be done:
- improving the release process
ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org) is used to generate png icons from svg. Also needs zip commandline archiver.
