Images can slow down a page or use extra data, especially on a slow connection. Chrome lets you block images on one site or every site, and it only takes a minute to set up.
How to Block Images on a Single Website
- Open the website in Chrome.
- Click the icon to the left of the address bar.
- Select Site settings.
- Find Images and change it to Block.
- Reload the page to see it without images.
How to Block Images on Every Website
- Click the three dots in the top right corner and choose Settings.
- Go to Privacy and security, then Site settings.
- Scroll down and click Additional content settings, then Images.
- Choose Don’t show any images.
Quick Tips
- You can always add exceptions for sites where you want images to load.
- Turning images back on later is just as easy. Repeat the steps and switch the setting back to Allowed.
Now you can browse with images off when you want to save data or speed things up, and turn them back on whenever you like.
