Image Block X

A button to toggle loading images in Firefox.

Why?

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.

Possible improvements

While it works now, there are a lot of possible improvements that can be made:

Features

• [ ] Page whitelisting (and / or blacklisting)
• [ ] Conditional image loading (if a certain size)
• [ ] Allow loading favicons
• [ ] Toggle loading per-tab (instead of a global state)

Project improvements

• [ ] Simplifying the release process
• [ ] Adding tests
