Ad blockers don't protect you against dumbass frontend devs who serve 5mb png files to be stuffed into 600x400 boxes.
Thanks kind stranger, I didn't realize this was configurable.
Shit, I might use that on a desktop with broadband.
Is 50kb enough or should I go higher.
Also. Thanks!
Thank you, this helps a lot
I have mine at 50kb, and most things load, but I do get some images that don't. Just play with it and increase it until the frequency you need to tap pictures to render them doesn't piss you off anymore.
Thank you.
I especially hated wallpaper website that load full size pictures on previews grids
No but the good blockers give you the power to disable elements on a case by case basis.
Removing the background image for fandom wiki articles makes them load 3x faster.
