Jusitn D - Unforutnately, the concept of this script is the opposite to what you want. Using this script, you create a whitelist of sites you *want* to see images from and then block everything else. |

Can you make it so we can block specific images? I browse forums and there are some avatars i find offensive that I would like to block specifically but not everything from the site. |

regarding dialup users and saving bandwidth: note that this script (in fact any greasemonkey script) doesn't avoid images being dowloaded. It only "removes" or "blocks" them from being displayed. This happens after all the information ordered by the browser has been retrieved from the server, all images included. So the image files are actually there on your browser's cache (or cache files). If you really want to save bandwidth and prevent images (flash files, ads or whatever) from being dowloaded, you'll another solution For exameple, an extension like Adblock Plus. |

This is better done with Adblock, but the concept is good. |

Thanks ycc2106, I'm going to be tweaking it to be a bit 'smarter', and will update the script when I'm done :) |
