Chrome extension to hide all images by default and show images again with click of icon.
This is a hobby project of mine. I originally developed it for my own personal usage, but Jasper Campbell (@tuck3r) convinced me to share it, so here it is. I decided to publish it on the Chrome Web Store for free for others to use. Click here to install
I know people can be fickle, so if you use it please leave a nice review and rating. Usually people only bother to review things they dislike and that is discouraging to the developer(s) and potential users. Your positive review would mean a lot. Thanks!
Chrome extension to hide all images by default and show images again with click of icon. When in hide mode, hover your cursor over an image to view it temporarily.
This is a work in progress and a hobby project. It is intended to be simple.
Hides all images by default. Note: there is a short delay as it waits for the page to load before hiding them. This needs work.
When images are hidden, you can mouse-over them to show them temporarily.
Shows all images again when you click the icon. Note: it will toggle them on/off with each click.
Uses HTML5 local storage to keep track of the image hide status (based on icon clicks).
Show/Hide toggling is remembered on a per-domain basis. (This means you can hide images on one site and show them on a different site and it will not conflict.)
Optionally hides background images. (Right click on the extension icon to find this setting.) -- Note this may cause icons, buttons, or other elements of a website to disappear "unexpectedly", but this is due to the nature of how websites are constructed and how the developer/designer used background images to creat those elements.
It does not block images and does not save you data.
It does not (yet) hide background images, videos, or other media. (Working on it)
It does not make you a sandwich (even if you use sudo).
It does not cost you money.
It does not make you money.
It does not track, store, share, or otherwise use any of your information.
It does not do anything other than what is listed in the "What does it do?" section above.
This is released under the MIT license.
