Eldmannen Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I am wondering if anyone is aware of any Mozilla Firefox extension that is able to filter out images based on image size? Would be nice to filter out <img src="..." width="1" height="1" /> to get rid of web beacons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think you might be able to do that with ImgLikeOpera. One of its features lets you block or allow images by filters you set. Never tried it myself, though I may try something along that line - so many pages are too image-heavy, very slow on dialup. On a lot of pages I'd like to block all images. NoScript has an option to block Web bugs on untrusted sites, doesn't seem to have a way to extend that to all sites. The developer might be willing to help with that.

Eldmannen Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Oh yeah, I have NoScript. Just enabled "forbid web bugs", thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wonder if there is any plugin that blocks standard web banner sizes... would be cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 AdblockPlus blocks a lot of banner ads. Yeah, I do have Adblock Plus installed. Unfortunately, I sometimes get false-positives. Thought blocking the standard sizes would be a pretty good way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted March 11, 2008 Administrator Share Posted March 11, 2008 What filter lists are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 What filter lists are you using? EasyList (USA). Too bad Adblock (Not Plus) isn't compatible with Firefox 3 yet. :( I had a custom filter list that I made myself, that I liked, it worked pretty good for me.

Administrator Tarun Posted March 12, 2008 Administrator Share Posted March 12, 2008 I use AdblockPlus and Element Hiding Helper, along with ricks Easylist, EasyElement and Tracking Filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
