I've seen this proliferate over the last couple months. What gives? It totally breaks the reading experience and by reflex at this point I move my mouse up to the "reader view" icon on Firefox, ready to fire a click so I can read something without being visually accosted on the screen.
What makes me sad is that I know how to do this, but my parents don't. So they put up with an experience of the internet that's totally degraded.
- baby 7y agoMaybe browsers should have a mode where they don’t display images that are larger than X bytes if you don’t click on them
- remarkEon 7y agoI’m sure google will get right on that.
- llarsson 7y agouBlock Origin offers just that. I am sure you are aware, but perhaps others reading your comment and agreeing with it might not be. It is great for mobile (Firefox), because you can set the "large media element" threshold to something tiny and thus get a mostly text-only web that is very fast.
