The option to Block Large Media Elements in uBlock Origin(in Firefox) is nice. Saves net and speeds up loading (lemmy.ml)

Remembered about this a Lemmy convo.

It is good. Animations or pictures beyond the selected size are replaced by a red border. Clicking it will load that image. Or you can temporarily turn it off for the website and reload the tab.

There is an option to exclude Websites from from it too. e.g. You can exclude Lemmy instances where you want to see images by default.

Sharing it here since I had heard that uBo with full capabilities is now only available in Firefox

    I saw this posted in fdroid as well. While good info, it seems like it's being spammed in strange places.

    I did not ask the question in fdroid.

    I remembered this feature in a Lemmy convo. I searched for the link and info to comment there. After that, thought that it would be good to share to fdroid sub, as it would apply there.

    After that, thought whether there would other features like this in popular apps or extensions. So asked here.

    Do you categorise this as spam because you saw it in 2 communities? Wouldn't spam need more copies? Or is it something unwanted?

    Because of the question on similar features in apps or extensions.

    Should I edit the title to only have the question? The part about uBlock in the post body only?
