Firstly, thank you for your add-on.
Please, I have two simple requests:
1) Besides images, please can you add options to block other elements like video, audio etc?
2) Please, a whitelist is needed, based on type of blocked elements per page.
My two requests are inspired on: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-large-media-elements
For those users, like me, that prefer your add-on, blocking more elements by size will be great.
Thanks in advance!
REPLAY TO THE DEV: Thanks @Kai M. I understand your argument about video and audio. I don't want to install uBlock, I want your add-on. So, at least if your LargeImageBlocker can imitate the uBlock' no-large-media-elements function, then for me will be great. Thanks in advance!

posted 4 years agoDid not know ublock has these features. I will have a closer look at it.
For now: Blocking video or audio is not planned for "large image blocker" since there are a lot of "click to play"-solutions out there that do a better job. (For me the "NoScript"-addon stops audio and video objects.)
There could be some awkward behaviour like stopping the video while watching in case a follow-up part of the video-stream exceeds the maximum size. I will experiment a bit with that and will try to make progress to implement some of the ublock features. But it will take some time.
Regards
Kai
