Hide images with NOPE for Chrome

When was the last time you’ve read an article on the Internet that didn’t have pictures? Can’t remember? Well, it’s because pictures and videos have always been and still are important mediums for processing information.

But what if you want to do some research on something you don’t actually like visually? For example, something like reading about bugs when, in fact, you hate them? Or you want to research various diseases on the Internet but don’t want to see how the actual victims look? After all, there’s this saying that “what has been seen, can never be unseen.”

Well, if that’s the case then you will love Hide images with NOPE for Chrome. It’s a nifty extension that allows you to effortlessly block out images and videos (including advertisement-related ones), and that’s just about it.

It can be deployed on your Chrome browser with no more than a few mouse clicks directly from the Chrome Web Store and, just like most extensions, it lives in the browser toolbar. By clicking its icon, you can turn the effects on or off via two simple buttons: Hide and Show.

Please note that you might have to wait until the website finishes loading all its components before activating the extension. We have discovered that, in some cases, a refresh command usually does the trick with websites on which the extension is reluctant to work.

To conclude, Hide images with NOPE for Chrome is a tiny tool that’s capable of delivering big results. It can very well create a more comfortable reading/research environment for you by blocking images and videos but, quite interestingly, it could also help you boost your productivity which is just as valuable.
